We are formed and molded by our thoughts, those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them. - Buddha
While I am somewhat reluctant to quote Buddha since he is every one's favorite Easterner to quote in opposition to the wisdom of the West, this is a very good quote and worthy of remembrance. My main gripe against Buddha and Buddhist is former or inactive Christians who think Buddhism is a great religion/system free from "those damn hypocrites" that are so common in Christianity. I know without a doubt that their humanity is no different than ours. Somewhere in Thailand, someone Buddhist is complaining about their lazy freeloading Buddhist neighbor.
