The mind precedes all things, the mind dominates all things, the mind creates all things.
Gautama BuddhaGenerosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in remembering the fact that we have given.
Gautama BuddhaAll tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Gautama BuddhaWhen a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha
