Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha

Image
For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pain is the outcome of sin.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sometime, somewhere you take something to be the truth. But if you cling to it too strongly, then even when the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You only lose that which you cling to.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Live happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rid of craving and without clinging, an expert in the study of texts, and understanding the right sequence of the words, he may indeed be called In his last body, Great in wisdom and a Great man.
Gautama Buddha
Image
From a withered tree, a flower blooms
Gautama Buddha
Image
You are far from the end of your journey. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. See how you love.
Gautama Buddha
Image
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
Gautama Buddha
