To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Gautama BuddhaFirst of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha'I've got children', 'I've got wealth.' This is the way a fool brings suffering on himself. He does not even own himself, so how can he have children or wealth?
Gautama BuddhaOne is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.
