Quote by Buddha

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one

Summary

This quote speaks to the idea that true fulfillment and selflessness can be found in living a life where material possessions and wealth hold no value. In a world of abundance, it suggests that one should refrain from attaching personal ownership to things and instead embrace a mindset of detachment. By recognizing that everything is transient and not belonging to us, we are able to let go of selfishness and embrace a more pure and selfless way of living, prioritizing the needs of others over our own.
