To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there’s no grief – so how fear?
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
