Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love. This is the eternal rule.
-Buddha

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.

Dhammapada, as translated by T. Byrom (1993), Shambhala Publications.

To cease from evil, to do good, and to purify the mind yourself,
this is the teaching of all the Buddhas.
Dhammapada verse 183


Sensual passions are your first enemy.
Your second is called Discontent.
Your third is Hunger & Thirst.
Your fourth is called Craving.
Fifth is Sloth & Drowsiness.
Sixth is called Terror.
Your seventh is Uncertainty.Hypocrisy & Stubbornness,
Your eighth is Gains, Offerings, Fame, & Status wrongly gained,and whoever would praise self 

and disparage others.
That, Namuci, is your enemy,the Dark One's commando force.
A coward can't defeat it,but one having defeated it gains bliss.




















To conquer oneself is a greater task than conquering others. - Buddha



Gautama Buddha (c. 563 - c. 483 BC) was a teacher, and religious leader.
"Buddha", meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title, not a name;
the Shakyamuni Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama,
was the founder of Buddhism.
