Gautama Buddha
Image
The heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye.
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

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

The mind contains all possibilities.
Gautama Buddha

Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rely on the teaching, not on the person Rely on the meaning, not on the words Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is your mind that creates the world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let the disciple cultivate love without measure towards all beings. Let him cultivate towards the whole world, above, below, around, a heart of love unstinted....For in all the world this state of heart is best.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As long as one feels that he is the doer, he cannot escape from the wheel of births.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The good shine from afar Like the snowy Himalayas. The bad don't appear Even when near, Like arrows shot into the night.
Gautama Buddha
