What I know is like the leaves on that tree


“What I know is like the leaves on that tree; what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to all with an open hand. What do I not teach? Whatever is fascinating to discuss, divides people against each other, but has no bearing on putting an end to sorrow. What do I teach? Only what is necessary to take you to the other shore.”

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

An island lost in a boundless sea

“Sometimes I’ve thought of an island lost in a boundless sea, where I could live in some hidden valley, among strange trees in silence. There I think I could find what I want.”
