Have a simple life, simple house, simple relationship, simple food, simple bed, ... always take good care of your body, mind and speech.

In all its 25 centuries, no war has ever been fought in the name of Buddhism.

Vesak Day or the Buddha's birthday, it actually encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and passing (Parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha.

The Law of Kamma offers people a just, incorruptible foundation and reason for living a moral life. What you Give = What you Take.

Be content with little, both in your property and relationships. You will find freedom and happiness in any moment and anywhere.

'By effort, earnestness, discipline, and self-control, let the wise man make for himself an island which no flood can overwhelm. (2:5)'

'Whatever you are doing, give it everything you've got.'

'Lead a righteous life, but not one that is corrupted. The righteous live happily both in this world and in the next.' (13:3)

If kindness is imagined as a beautiful dove, then wisdom is its wings. Compassion without wisdom never takes off.

Many ineffectual leaders are crippled through fear of what other people think of them. ..."Never allow the media to control your happiness".

Fear is finding fault with the future.

If only we could keep in mind how uncertain our future is, then we would never try to predict what could go wrong. Fear ends right there.

What ever you are doing, give it everything you have got.

Half of karma is the ingredients we have to work.

The other half, the most crucial part, is what we make of them in this life.

When there is nothing to do, then do nothing.

Marriage is like bacon and engagement is like eggs. The chicken is merely involved but the pig is COMMITTED! Hence a PIG marriage.

What one might take to be "flaws" in oneself, in one's life partner, or in life can become "unique features" once u stop focusing on them!
