Forgive and be free. Forget that you have forgiven and be freer.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Though 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 Buddha
Image
Do not speak harshly to any one those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.

It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
