More quotes by Gautama Buddha
I knew that most people never see this reality because they attach to the material aspect of the world. Illusions of self and other fill their vision. I also realized there are those with little dust limiting their vision.
Gautama Buddha
The holy man is beyond time, he does not depend on any view nor subscribe to any sect all current theories he understands, but he remains unattached to any of them.
Gautama Buddha
Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.
Gautama Buddha
They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.
Gautama Buddha
A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
Gautama Buddha
Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.
Gautama Buddha
You only lose that which you cling to.
Gautama Buddha
Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me.
Gautama Buddha
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Gautama Buddha
The mind contains all possibilities.
Gautama Buddha
Be the witness of your thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Mindfulness of the body leads to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
Like a caring mother holding and guarding the life of her only child, so with a boundless heart of loving kindness, hold yourself and all beings as your beloved children.
Gautama Buddha
If there is a God, it is inconceivable that he would be concerned about my day to day affairs.
Gautama Buddha
Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt
Gautama Buddha
Teach you? I cannot teach you. Go experience for yourself
Gautama Buddha
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Gautama Buddha
