This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
Gautama BuddhaThose who are truly wise will remain unmoved by feelings of happiness and suffering, fame and disgrace, praise and blame, gain and loss.They will remain calm like the eye of a hurricane.
Gautama BuddhaWithin this moment, the only moment that exists, the past, present and future are contained.
Gautama BuddhaNirvana is this moment seen directly. There is no where else than here. The only gate is now. The only doorway is your own body and mind. Thereโs nowhere to go. Thereโs nothing else to be. Thereโs no destination. Itโs not something to aim for in the afterlife. Itโs simply the quality of this moment.
