The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man a true reflection of his own thoughts. Rule your mind or it will rule you.
Gautama BuddhaBuddhas and Bodhisattvas will for seven days appear to you in their benign and peaceful aspect. Their light will shine upon you, ... Wonderful and delightful though they are, The Buddhas may nevertheless frighten you. Do not give in to your fright! Do not run away! Serenely contemplate the spectacle before you! Overcome your fear, and feel no desire! Realize that these are the rays of the grace of the Buddhas, who come to receive you into their Buddha-realms. Pray to them with intense faith and humility.
Gautama BuddhaIf a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.
