About This Quote
The greatest happiness and the greatest wealth and honor come from having a calm and contented mind. The Buddha, whose teachings form the foundation of the practice of Buddhism, said that we should cultivate friendliness toward those who are happy, compassion for those who are unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference toward the wicked. This advice is as true today as it was thousands of years ago.
