Quote

Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.

For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.

Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.

The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
