"What I know," the Buddha said, "is like the leaves on that tree;
what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to all with an

end to sorrow. What do I teach? Only what is necessary to take you
to the other shore."

How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said.
"Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return"
