You have to do your own work; Enlightened Ones will only show the way. Those who practise meditation will free themselves from the chains of death
Gautama BuddhaDo not believe anything on the mere authority of teachers or priests. Accept as true and as the guide to your life only that which accords with your own reason and experience, after thorough investigation. Accept only that which contributes to the well-being of yourself and others.
Gautama BuddhaYou are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Donโt give up.
Gautama Buddha
