Wise words of Guatama Buddha - 2007/09/12 13:44"Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority, or if it is said to come from angels, or from Gods, or from an inspired source.
Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart and mind and body and found it to be true."
Guatama Buddhawww.openhandweb.org "Helping people evolve spiritually and ascend into a higher vibrational reality based on unconditional love, joy and respect for all life."

Plenty of favourites to choose from... this might be difficult.
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
This is one of my favourites. It's been said before and after the Buddha said it, by many people in many different ways.
J.M. Barrie had Peter Pan say: "To die will be an awfully great adventure."
J.K. Rowling Had Dumbledore say: "To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
And so on. And it's very true.

Re:Wise words of Guatama Buddha - 2007/09/14 03:02Interesting quotes. Along the same lines and one of my faves here's Rumi....
Any soul that drank the nectar of your passion was lifted. From that water of life he is in a state of elation. Death came, smelled me, and sensed your fragrance instead. From then on, death lost all hope of me.

Re:Wise words of Guatama Buddha - 2007/09/15 09:08Well that was great thoughts for me and interesting quotes. I like this one:
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." - Sir Cecil Beaton
