Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
More Quotes by Buddha
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
