More quotes by Gautama Buddha

Image
All of you knowing now, Tthat the Buddhas, the Teachers of the Ages, In accord with what is peculiarly appropriate, have recourse to expedient devices, Need have no more doubts or uncertainties. Your hearts shall give rise to great joy, Since you know that you yourselves Shall become Buddhas.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: Are you a God? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a saint? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a magician? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. What are you then? I am awake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
You are what you think about.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Who ever lives looking for pleasure only, his senses uncontrolled, immoderate in his enjoyments, idle and weak, the tempter will certainly overcome him, as the wind blows down a weak tree.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Household life is crowded and dusty life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Destroy the man of wicked thoughts, Like a bamboo-tree with its fruit.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Suffering, if it does not diminish love, will transport us to the furthest shore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Attachment leads to suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind Your life will bring heaven to earth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Master your words. Master your thoughts. Never allow your body to do harm. Follow these three roads with purity And you will find yourself upon the one way, The way of wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Look within, thou art the Buddha.
