Buddha (Siddhartha Guatama)

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.”

Unfortunately I cannot say that I am a devoted buddhist and hopefully I will be able to change that by 2012, as it is on my 101 things to do in 1001 days list, I strive to live my life in the perspective of a buddhist. The theory of happiness is so intricate and yet so simple; the word fascination cannot even begin to describe how I feel about the way of life, and for some, a religion.
