Additional quotes by Gautama Buddha

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

Live in joy, in love,
even among those who hate.

Live in joy, in health,
even among the afflicted.

Live in joy, in peace,
even among the troubled.

Look within, be still.
Free from fear and attachment,
know the sweet joy of the way.
