a. “All experiences are preceded by mind, having mind as their master, created by mind.” The Buddha in The Dahrmapada

If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox." - the Dvedhavitakka Sutta d. "Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mindwrought. If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow." the Dvedhavitakka Sutta

g “All events and incidents in life are so intimately linked with the fate of others that a single person on his or her own cannot even begin to act”. Tenzin Gyasto
h “This being, that comes to be;
from the arising of this, that arises;
this not being, that ceases;
from the ceasing of this, that cease." Majjhima Nikāya iii. 63; Samyutta Nikāya v. 387; etc.
i "The Buddha expressed interdependent co-arising very simply: "This is, because that is. This is not, because that is not. This comes to be, because that comes to be. This ceases to be, because that ceases to be." They are the Buddhist genesis. Thich Nhat Hanh .
j "the doctrine states: "That being, this comes to be; from the arising of that, this arises; that being absent, this is not; from the cessation of that, this ceases." (S.II.28) This states the principle of conditionality, that all things, mental and physical, arise and exist due to the presence of certain conditions, and cease once their conditions are removed: nothing (except Nibbana) is independent." Peter Harvey p54 (1990), An Introduction to Buddhism, Cambridge University Press.
k " All events and incidents in life are so intimately linked with the fate of others that a single person on his or her own cannot even begin to act. Many ordinary human activities, both positive and negative, cannot even be conceived of apart from the existence of other people ... in reliance upon the existence of others it becomes possible for the media to create fame or disrepute for someone. On your own you cannot create any fame or disrepute no matter how loud you might shout. The closest you can get is to create an echo of your own voice. " Tenzin Gyatso (the Dalai Lama)
