Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Gautam Buddha.
- However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
- In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true
- Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care
- Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering
- There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: 1.) not going all the way; and 2.) not starting
- To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him
- When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear
- He insulted me, he cheated me, he beat me, he robbed me.' Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace
- The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly
- Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared
- Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom
