Message: <blockquote data-quote="Y2K" data-source="post: 10850056" data-attributes="member: 35049">All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.Enternal Truth from Lord Buddha</blockquote>
