Real Words of Wisdom

Just recently when I was searching for some information online and  for some inexplicable reason I came across a few  Buddhist quotes, which  I felt that  had a ring of truth to them, in fact they  perfectly summed up life. They are most certainly wise words.

I don’t really know too much about what Buddhism is about or what it has to offer, but I have heard that it encourages people to find meaning in there life and that it enlightens minds.

I have discovered 3 well-known Buddhist quotes that I feel offer something that we as human beings can truly learn from.

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.”

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.”

By Gautam Buddha
