"Nothing is permanent...." - Quote by Dalai Lama

“A sense of contentment is a key factor for attaining happiness”

“My overriding belief is that it is always possible for criminals to improve and that by its very finality the death penalty contradicts this.”

“As a Buddhist, I view death as a normal process, a reality that I accept will occur as long as I remain in this earthly existence. Knowing that I cannot escape it, I see no point in worrying about it. I tend to think of death as being like changing your clothes when they are old and worn out, rather than as some final end. Yet death is unpredictable: We do not know when or how it will take place. So it is only sensible to take certain precautions before it actually happens.”

“A living body is not a fixed thing, but a flowing event, like a flame or a whirlpool.”

“Reflect often upon the rapidity with which all existing things, or things coming into existence, sweep past us and are carried away.”

“All things are changing; and thou thyself art in continuous mutation and in a manner in continuous destruction and the whole universe to.”
