You only lose what you cling to
Shakyamuni philosopher, teacher and religious leader on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die
Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison
To abstain from lying is essentially wholesome
The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it
Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?
Courtesy costs nothing, but buys everything
Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free
People are of two types: They are either your brothers in faith or your brothers in humanity.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light
