Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
Image
Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith
Gautama Buddha
Image
A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatsoever misfortunes there are Here in this world or in the next, They all have their root in Ignorance And in the accumulation of Longing and Desire.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger
