One should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should one incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.
Gautama BuddhaAttention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.
Gautama BuddhaHe whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.
Gautama BuddhaThough one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day's life of one who is wise and meditative.
Gautama BuddhaDo not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Gautama Buddha
