There are, O monks, these four lights. What four? The light of the moon, the light of the sun, the light of fire, and the light of wisdom. Of these four lights, the light of wisdom is supreme.
Gautama BuddhaHaving abandoned the taking of life, refraining from killing, we dwell without violence, with the knife laid down, scrupulous, full of mercy, trembling with compassion for all sentient beings.
Gautama BuddhaIt is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.
Gautama BuddhaWhy cling to the pain and the wrongs of yesterday? Why hold on to the very things that keep you from hope and love.
Gautama BuddhaI reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.
Gautama Buddha
