Buddha's Little Instruction Book


The popular author Jack Kornfield has a nifty pocket-sized book called Buddha's Little Instruction Book.  Here are a few bits of wisdom from the Buddha:

No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.

Through  our senses the world appears.  Through our reactions we create delusions.  Without  reactions the world becomes clear.

It is not our preferences that cause problems but our attachment to them.

Joy and openness come from our own contented hearts.

Whatever path of action you find that brings good and happiness to all, follow this way like the moon in the path of the stars.
