Enlightenment Quotations

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Buddha

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.

Morihei Ueshiba
