The judgment: You are now before Yama, King of the Dead. In vain will you try to...deny or conceal the evil deeds you have done. ... the mirror in which Yama seems to read your past is your own memory, and also his judgment is your own. It is you yourself who pronounce your own judgment.
Gautama BuddhaTo live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
Gautama BuddhaHis success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.
Gautama BuddhaOne is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.
Gautama BuddhaIf we can look upon our work not for self-benefit,but as a means to benefit society,we will be practicing appreciation and patience in our daily lives.
Gautama BuddhaEverything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Gautama Buddha
