Ceasing to do evil,
Cultivating the good,
Purifying the heart:
This is the teaching of the Buddhas



Buddha, Dhammapada verse 183



Radiate boundless love
towards the entire world.
- Buddha



From the Karaniya Metta Sutta



Holding onto anger
is like grasping a hot coal with the intent
of throwing it at someone else;
you are the one that gets burned.



Whatever's not full makes noise.
Whatever is full is quiet.



Buddha, from the Sutta Nipata



Do not look at the faults of others,
or what others have done or not done;
observe what you yourself have done
and have not done.



Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind,
so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.



Be vigilant and go beyond death. If you lack vigilance, you cannot escape death. Those who strive earnestly will go beyond death; those who do not can never come to life. The wise understand this, and rejoice in the wisdom of the noble ones. Meditating earnestly and striving for nirvana, they attain the highest joy and freedom.

If you meditate earnestly, pure in mind and kind in deeds, leading a disciplined life in harmony with the dharma, you will grow in glory. If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.
