Weekly Inspiration: Buddha

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. 
Buddha

Have you ever read the book, "From Buddha to Jesus"? It's so interesting! According the the author's research, he believes that it seems God sent Buddha as a sort of prophet, much like John the Baptist, to prepare people's hearts for the coming Messiah. Absolutely fascinating read!

Thanks, Chandra! Haven't read it but it sounds like one I'd like to pick up! I read one on a similar vein called Living Buddha, Living Christ. It celebrates the similarities and common messages of the two and is a very nice read. Written by a monk from Vietnam. Will be looking for the one you suggested. Thanks so much for sharing!
