A wise man, recognising that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering

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.

Additional quotes by The Buddha

Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena kamu telah mendengarnya. Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu telah dibicarakan dan digunjingkan oleh banyak orang.
Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu tertulis dalam kitab-kitab keagamaanmu. Jangan percaya hal apapun hanya karena hal itu dikatakan berdasarkan otoritas guru-guru dan sesepuh-sesepuhmu.
Jangan percaya tradisi apapun hanya karena tradisi itu telah diwariskan dari satu generasi ke generasi lainnya.
Tetapi setelah kamu observasi dan analisis, maka ketika kamu mendapati hal apapun sejalan dengan akal-budimu dan menolongmu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan dan manfaat bagi satu dan semua orang, maka terimalah itu dan jalankanlah.
