Always Be Good and Be Kind

Is this the way of the Buddha?

Food for thought by the Dalai Lama


Religion is a food for the mind,
as we all have different tastes,
we must take that which is most suitable for us.

by the Dalai Lama
The Little Book of Wisdom

Generosity, giving, means to make other people happy. When we give something with pleasure there is double happiness, the giver is happy and the person who receives what is given is also happy.


- U Thittila

Purity of Heart


All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.

Dhammapada V. 1-2
