Having anger management issues? Here are 12 wise quotes from the Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha. Anyway, if you’ve been to the Buddha Bar, you will notice Buddha is either siting on top of a Lotus flower or there is a lotus flower at the background, here’s why:
The lotus flower represents one symbol of fortune in Buddhism. It grows in muddy water, and it is this environment that gives forth the flower’s first and most literal meaning: rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment. The second meaning, which is related to the first is purification. It resembles the purifying of the spirit which is born into murkiness. The third meaning refers to faithfulness. Those who are working to rise above the muddy waters will need to be faithful followers.

What we think, we become.

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
The mind is everything. What you think you become.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
