Gautama BuddhaBut ...meat eating in any form, in any manner, and in any place is unconditionally and once and for all prohibited ...Meat eating I have not permitted to anyone, I do not permit, I will not permit.
Gautama BuddhaIt is better to do nothing Than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.
Gautama BuddhaEverything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
