Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, simply called Buddha, was a spiritual teacher from India who founded Buddhism. Did you know that 'buddha' is actually a title given to the first spiritually awakened being in an era ie. means "the awakened, enlightened one of our age<\/strong>". Buddha is believed to have lived around 563 BC. His advice was passed down from generation to generation until 4 centuries after his death it was written down for the first time to reach us. Let's recall some of them together...<\/p>\n

THE LESSONS OF THE BUDDHA<\/h3>\n

1. For the present
\n<\/strong>Don't live in the past, don't dream about the future, focus your mind on the present moment.
\nThe secret of a healthy mind and body is not to mourn the past, not to worry about the future, not to live with the expectation of future problems. Live in the present moment wisely. Live it to the fullest.<\/p>\n

2. About sharing<\/strong>
\nThousands of candles can be lit from one candle and this will not reduce its life. Likewise, happiness does not diminish when it is shared.
\n
\n3. About the power of thoughts<\/strong>
\nOur thoughts shape us. We become what our thoughts are. They shape our world.<\/p>\n

4. About anger<\/strong>
\nGetting angry is like clutching a hot coal hoping to throw it at someone else - the one who gets burned is you.
\nYou will not be punished for your anger. You will be punished by your anger.<\/p>\n

5. For patience<\/strong>
\nThe jug is filled drop by drop.<\/p>\n

6. About the truth<\/strong>
\nThere are only two mistakes, which man<\/a> can do on the road to truth - not to walk it all the way and never to walk it.<\/p>\n

7. About the road<\/strong>
\nYou cannot walk the path unless you yourself have become the path.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

8. For salvation<\/strong>
\nNo one can save us but ourselves. We are the ones who must walk the path to our salvation.<\/p>\n

9. About words<\/strong>
\nThe tongue is like a sharp knife \u2013 it kills without shedding blood.<\/p>\n

10. On persistence<\/strong>
\nI never look at what has been accomplished. I always look to what remains to be done.<\/p>\n

11. About forgiveness<\/strong>
\nTo understand everything means to forgive everything.<\/p>\n

12. About the doubt<\/strong>
\nNothing is as destructive as the habit of doubt. Doubt divides people, destroys friendships, poisons relationships. It is like a sword that kills.<\/p>\n

13. For your own way<\/strong>
\nDon't follow anyone. Go after yourself.<\/p>\n

14. On inaction<\/strong>
\nIt is not enough to be a good person if you do nothing.<\/p>\n

15. About fate<\/strong>
\nI don't believe in fate that falls on man no matter what he does. I believe in the fate that befalls those who do nothing.<\/p>\n

16. For reason<\/strong>
\nDon't believe anything, no matter where you read it or who said it, even if I said it, unless it agrees with your own common sense and mind.<\/p>\n

17. About one's own "I" and others<\/strong>
\nVictory over one's own Self is better than victory over all other people. No one can turn the victory of the man who has overcome himself into defeat.
\nYou can defeat a thousand men in a fierce battle, but only he who defeats himself is the most valiant victor.
\nDo not concern yourself with other people's mistakes and actions, nor with other people's negligence, but be aware of your own actions and your own negligence.
\nLet each man direct himself first to what is right, and only then teach others.<\/p>\n

18. About the change<\/strong>
\nLearning means changing.<\/p>\n

19. For freedom<\/strong>
\nLearn to give freedom; it is the key to happiness.
\nUnleash this<\/a>, which you love the most; if it comes back to you, it's yours for life.<\/p>\n

20. About fears<\/strong>
\nThe whole secret of existence is to have no fears. Never fear what will happen to you. Then you will be free.<\/p>\n
