"Existence is sorrow." Understand, and go beyond sorrow. This is the way of brightness.
Gautama BuddhaThe world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.
Gautama BuddhaDon't believe a teaching just because you've heard it from a man who's supposed to be holy, or because it's contained in a book supposed to be holy, or because all your friends and neighbors believe it. But whatever you've observed and analyzed for yourself and found to be reasonable and good, then accept that and put it into practice.
Gautama Buddha
