By oneself the evil is done, and it is oneself who suffers: by oneself the evil is not done, and by one's Self one becomes pure. The pure and the impure come from oneself: no man can purify another.

Additional quotes by The Buddha

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would change.

Když muže zasáhne kámen, způsobí mu bolest. Když ale tento muž, v reakci na své zranění, podlehne vnitřnímu trápení, truchlení a stěžování si, pak cítí bolesti dvě - tělesnou a duševní. Je to podobní, jako by sám sebe dobrovolně ubíjel ještě jedním kamenem.
