How will you become free? With a quiet mind Come into that empty house, your heart, And feel the joy of the way Beyond the world. Look within - The rising and the falling.
Gautama BuddhaBe your own lamps. Be your own shelters. Hang on to the truth as a lamp. Hang on to the truth as a refuge.
Gautama BuddhaThough through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.
Gautama BuddhaMen are tied up to their families and possessions more helplessly than in a prison. There is an occasion for the prisoner to be released, but householders entertain no desire to be relieved from the ties of family. When a man's passion is aroused nothing prevents him from ruining himself. Even into the jaws of a tiger will he jump. Those who are thus drowned in the filth of passion are called the ignorant. Those who are able to overcome it are saintly Arhats.
Gautama Buddha
