Gautama Buddha
The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

Gautama Buddha
There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.

Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me.

Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.
Gautama Buddha
As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.
Gautama Buddha
The deluding passions are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all. The number of beings is endless. I vow to save them all. The Truth cannot be told. I vow to explain it. The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it.
Gautama Buddha
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
