Mudryah Posted October 26, 2013 Don't just read it but apply it to your everyday life! Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. ― Gautama Buddha 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, The Dhammapada: The Sayings of the Buddha No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. ― Gautama Buddha, Sayings Of Buddha Purity or impurity depends on oneself, No one can purify another. ― Gautama Buddha If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good. ― Śāntideva When you dig a well, there's no sign of water until you reach it, only rocks and dirt to move out of the way. You have removed enough; soon the pure water will flow," said Buddha. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
