Tenzin Gyatso

Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

Jack Kornfield

Forgiveness is primarily for our own sake, so that we no longer carry the burden of resentment. But to forgive does not mean we will allow injustice again.

"Fears are educated into us and can, if we wish, be educated out."~Karl A. Menninger

Tenzin Gyatso

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Dhammapada 76

Like someone pointing to treasure

Is the wise person

Who sees your faults and points them out.

Associate with such a sage.

Good will come of it, not bad,

If you associate with one such as this.

Buddha

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man should not be considered a good man because he is a good talker.

Tenzin Gyatso

Anger or hatred is like a fisherman's hook. It is very important for us to ensure we are not caught by it.

Dhammapada 80

Irrigators guide water; fletchers shape arrows; carpenters fashion wood; sages tame themselves.

Tenzin Gyatso

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Dhammapada 82

As a deep lake is clear and undisturbed, so a sage becomes clear upon hearing the Dharma.

Tenzin Gyatso

Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

Dhammapada 277

"All things are impermanent."

Seeing this with wisdom,

One becomes disenchanted with suffering.

This is the path to purity.

Tenzin Gyatso

With realization of one's own potential and self confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.

Dhammapada 282

Wisdom arises from [spiritual] practice;

Without practice it decays. Knowing these paths to gain and loss,

Conduct yourself so that wisdom grows.
