Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Follow not after the vain, understand the ills of sense pleasures. One who is vigilant and meditative, obtains deep joy.
