The shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
Gautama Buddha
Image
There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.
Gautama Buddha

Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha

Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha

When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Forgive and be free. Forget that you have forgiven and be freer.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Doing the good deeds is like the grass in the garden. You don't see its growth. But, it does by days. Doing the wicked deeds is like the hone. You don't see its damage. But, it does by days.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.
Gautama Buddha
