Quotes attributed to theBuddhaDo not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future,concentrate the mind on the present moment
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said
it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with yourown reason and your own common sense.
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word thatbrings peace
In the end these things matter most:How well did you love?How fully did you live?How deeply did you let go?
Look within, thou art the Buddha.
