Quotes
Regardless of what people think about Buddhism. Some of their ideas and quotes are straight to the point and I've fallen in love with some of these quotes over the years.
---We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.
---Pay no attention to the faults of others,
things done or left undone by others.
Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.
---Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
---Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
--Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
