Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.
(Dhammapada)
Buddha
Select Buddha Quotations |
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. 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.
