13. Quotes a Buddah has said
(there are so many I don't know who)
1. A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.”
2. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.”
3. The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
4. The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.”
6. No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
7. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.”
8. An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.”
9. However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”
10. The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood
11. To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others
12. Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.”
13. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

ReplyDeleteYou must have missed my post where I went to the doctor -- it's 2 or 3 down now. He said I have some inner ear "congestion" - and gave me all kinds of medicines - 3 of them! 2 make me dizzy and one makes me drowsy! I have NO idea if they are working or not!!! LOL!
Now that's a terrific post, Gattina. I wonder if we'll take those words to heart!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great TT post. A post with meaning beyond everyday blah-blah's.
