The fragrance of sandalwood and rosebay does not travel far. But the fragrance of virtue rises to the heavens.
Gautama BuddhaCraving brings pain; craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
Gautama BuddhaFrom craving arises sorrow, from craving arises fear, but he who is freed from craving has no sorrow and certainly no fear.
Gautama BuddhaEverything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama BuddhaAll of you knowing now, Tthat the Buddhas, the Teachers of the Ages, In accord with what is peculiarly appropriate, have recourse to expedient devices, Need have no more doubts or uncertainties. Your hearts shall give rise to great joy, Since you know that you yourselves Shall become Buddhas.
Gautama Buddha
