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
We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again
Gautama Buddha
Image
All beings tremble before violence. All love life. All fear death. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?
Gautama Buddha
Image
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
Image
With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Dignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There's a treasury full of jade and jewels It is in you. Don't go searching far from home for it-it's here.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One is not low because of birth nor does birth make one holy. Deeds alone make one low, deeds alone make one holy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool says, These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money. In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Life is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.
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
Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wonder of wonders! Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, endowed with wisdom and virtue, but because men's minds have become inverted through delusive thinking they fail to perceive this.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The man that is dominated by Anger Doth not know what is seemly and seeth not the Law That man whom Hate doth accompany, Becometh like unto murky darkness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small. This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
