About This Quote
Spirituality is for people. It isn't just for those who you might have read about in books, it's for people. In the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, there is a distinction between what you do and what you say. In Buddhism, one's deeds are considered to have no effect on future rebirths whereas one's verbal utterances have a tendency to influence them in a negative way.
Buddhists believe in working with your words and deeds to achieve a goal but not letting either of these things become the only thing in your mind. This quote from Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, is a good example of the important difference between belief and action. The Buddha went on to say that "If you want to be free from suffering, the only way that the Buddha knows is through action"
