PHILOSOPHY

"Loudness Fades Away In the Moment.
Silence creates The Moment." ... Frohling

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness" [Mark Twain]

" Believe nothing
merely because you have been told it
or because it is traditional
or because you yourself have imagined it.
Do not believe what your teacher tells you
merely out of respect for the teacher.
But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,
you find to be conducive to the good,
the benefit, the welfare of all beings:
that doctrine believe and cling to,
and take it as your guide."
-- Gautama Buddha
