Buddha Quote by Anonymous
“The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footmarks. That's what Buddha says, that the man who is awakened lives in such a way that he leaves no footmarks. He is without wounds and without scars; he never looks back there is no point. He has lived that moment so totally that what is the need of looking back again and again? He never looks ahead, he never looks back, he lives in the moment.”
