Quote by Andrea Bocelli on God, Fate, and Spirituality

Mindfulness and Non-Violence – Quote by Buddha
“In what is seen, there should be just the seen; In what is heard, there should be just the heard; In what is sensed, there should be just the sensed; In what is thought, there should be just the thought. He should not kill a living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should he incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak in the world.”
Buddha
