These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.
Gautama BuddhaA victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
Gautama BuddhaFoolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.
Gautama BuddhaTo be selfish, greedy and unwilling to help the needy gives rise to future starvation and clothlessness.
Gautama BuddhaThere is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving.
Gautama Buddha
