Evil

"Evil succeeds when you do nothing." Mr. Philbrick

Forest

One day while walking in the forest with a group of brothers from the Sangha Buddha scooped up a handful of leaves, showed it to the brothers and said "this is what i've taught." Indicating that the trees around them Buddha said, "what you have to learn is every leaf on every tree in the forest."

Analyze

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” Buddha

I Am Awake

A Brahman saw the Buddha resting under a tree in meditation. The Brahman was impressed with the Buddha's disposition and demeanor.
He asked, "Are you a god?"
"No, Brahman, I'm not a god."
"Are you an angel?"
"No", replied the Buddha.
"You must be a spirit then?"
"No, I'm not a spirit," said the Buddha.
"Then what are you?"
"I am awake."
