There are these two kinds of gifts: a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.
Gautama BuddhaThe discipline which I have imparted to you will lead you when I am gone. Practice mindfulness diligently, to attain the goal of awakening.
Gautama BuddhaLike a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
Gautama BuddhaIf for just the time of a finger-snap a monk produces a thought of loving-kindness, develops it, gives attention to it, such a one is rightly called a monk. Not in vain does he meditate. He acts in accordance with the master's teaching, he follows his advice. How much more so if he cultivates it.
