As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
Gautama BuddhaOur life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama BuddhaWe must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?
Gautama Buddha
