The Buddha never taught a sectarian religion; he taught Dhamma - the way to liberation - which is universal.

Every sensation shares the same characteristic: it arises and passes away, arises and passes away. It is this arising and passing that we have to experience through practice, not just accept as truth because Buddha said so, not just accept because intellectually it seems logical enough to us. We must experience sensation’s nature, understand its flux, and learn not to react to it.

When one experiences truth, the madness of finding fault with others disappears.

Discover real peace and harmony within yourself, and naturally this will overflow to benefit others.

One learns the art of dying by learning the art of living: how to become master of the present moment.

Observe the reality as it is. As it is, not as you wish it to be. Perhaps your breath is deep. Perhaps your breath is shallow. Perhaps you breathed in through the left nostril. Perhaps you breathed in through the right nostril. It makes no difference.

The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future, alter your decisions today.
