"Don't dwell in the past, don't dream about the future, but focus your mind on the present moment." – Buddha
It means Buddha in Sanskrit and other languages enlightened, but refers to Siddhartha Gautama, who rediscovered enlightenment. Buddhists do not consider him to be the first or the last Buddha, as he is someone who achieves the truth about the nature of reality, thought, and the misery of the human condition along with the true path to liberation.
The Buddha was not supposed to claim divine status, because he did proclaimed only as a teacher, who found lost knowledge and reintroduced it to the world.
What does he say?
Wise words of the Buddha that truly show you the way:
- The mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, but focus your mind on the present moment.
- Everything we are is the result of what we thought.
We are what we think. Everything we are comes into being with our thoughts. We make the world with our thoughts.
- Don't believe anything, no matter where you read it or who said it - even if I said it - until it agrees with your thinking and your common sense.
There is no fear for a mind that is not filled with desires.
- If anything is worth doing, do it with your heart.
No one can save us but ourselves. No one can and no one should. We have to walk the path ourselves.
- Come on, even if you have little.
People with opinions go around bothering each other.
- Every human being is the author of his own health or illness.
There are three things you cannot hide: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
- Love is the gift of one soul to another soul, so that the two can form a whole.
