Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama BuddhaIrrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.
Gautama BuddhaRelease old concepts and energies that keep you in self-punishment patterns. Release old stories and create from a place of love and self-validation. You are worth it!
Gautama BuddhaHow long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.
Gautama BuddhaIt came to me that I should teach this truth for it is real happiness and joy. The cessation of suffering is possible.
Gautama BuddhaJust as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so, brahmins, is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering. One should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.
Gautama Buddha
