What happens to you does not matter, what you become through those experiences is all that is significant. This is the true meaning of life.

"This day is a special day,
It is yours.
Yesterday slipped away
It cannot be filled with more meaning.
About tomorrow nothing is known.
But this day, today, is yours,
Make use of it.
Today you can make someone happy.
Today you can help another.
This day is a special day,
It is yours."

"Nothing exists the way it appears, it is all up to our Karma."

"Just as rust eats away the iron from which it is produced, so do their own deeds lead the overindulgent into a miserable state."

"Speak the truth, do not become angered, and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods."

"Overcome anger by non-anger; overcome evil by good; overcome the miser by giving; overcome the liar by truth."

"Do not say anything harsh; what you have said will be said back to you. Angry talk is painful; retaliation will get you."

"Do not think a small virtue
Will not return in your future lives.
Just as falling drops of water
Will fill a large container,
The little virtues
The steadfast accumulate
Will completely overwhelm them."

"Even if you donated three hundred pots Of cooked food three times a day, It could not compare to even a fraction Of the merit from just a moment's love."
