More quotes by Gautama Buddha
It is impossible to underestimate the significance of your today's choices
Gautama Buddha
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Gautama Buddha
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
Wherever there is possession of marks, there is fraud wherever there is no-possession of no-marks, there is no fraud. Hence the Tathagata is to be seen from no-marks as marks.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.
Gautama Buddha
Like the mother of the world, touch each being as your beloved child.
Gautama Buddha
Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.
Gautama Buddha
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
To share happiness, and to have done something good before leaving this life is sweet.
Gautama Buddha
(They) were responsible for spreading the Buddhist religion throughout India and East Asia.
Gautama Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Gautama Buddha
If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on therefore, one should control oneself of all.
Gautama Buddha
Beings are owners of their actions, heirs of their actions they originate from their actions, are bound to their actions, have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings as inferior and superior.
Gautama Buddha
Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.
Gautama Buddha
Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Do not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama Buddha
One should refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs.
Gautama Buddha
You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.
Gautama Buddha
Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.
Gautama Buddha
If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.
Gautama Buddha
