Presenting the major teachings of Gautam Buddha
• If you really love yourself , you can never hurt others .
• Carve Your Own Path – We are born alone and die alone , so no one else can decide our fate except us .
• Health is the greatest gift , contentment is the greatest wealth and loyalty is the greatest relationship .
• Think good things – We become what we think . So think positive things and be happy .
• There is no distinction between east and west in the sky , people create the distinction with their own mind and then believe it to be true .
• You will not be punished for being angry , rather your anger itself will punish you .
• Peace resides within a human being , don’t search for it outside .
• Thousands of lamps can be lighted from one burning lamp , yet the light of that lamp does not decrease . In the same way happiness increases by sharing , it does not decrease .
• Being angry is like holding on to a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone else , it burns you first .
• Before proving anything to others it is necessary that we prove it to ourselves . Everyone ‘s first competition is with himself .
• Happiness is in our mind , happiness is not in the things money buys , but in how we feel . Happiness is actually in our brain .
• Hatred can never end with hatred . Hatred can be ended only by love . This is the eternal truth .
