Harmony Quote

The Buddha

“He who goes for refuge to Buddha, to Truth and to those whom he taught, he goes indeed to a great refuge. Then he sees the four great truths: Sorrow, the cause of sorrow, the end of sorrow, and the path of eight stages which lead to the end of sorrow.  A man of true vision is not easy to find, a Buddha who is awake is not born everywhere. Happy are the people where such a man is born. Happy is the birth of Buddha, happy is the teaching of Dhamma, happy is the harmony of his followers, happy is the life of those who live in harmony. 

Who could measure the excellence of the man who pays reverence to those worthy of reverence, a Buddha or disciples, who have left evil behind and have crossed the river of sorrow, who, free from all fear, are in the glory or Nirvana” – From The Dhammapada
