Abstain from all sinful, unwholesome actions, perform only pious wholesome ones, purify the mind; this is the teaching of enlightened ones
Gautama BuddhaLet your diet be spare, your wants moderate, your needs few. So, living modestly, with no distracting desires, you will find content.
Gautama BuddhaHow wonderful, how miraculous, all beings, but all beings, are fully endowed with the wisdom and power of the Tathagat. But, sadly, human beings, due to sticky attachments, are not aware of it
Gautama BuddhaBeing able to make friends and keep them, welcoming others and sharing with them, a guide, philosopher and friend. One like this will be praised.
Gautama BuddhaPain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]
Gautama Buddha
