Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not believe anything on the mere authority of teachers or priests. Accept as true and as the guide to your life only that which accords with your own reason and experience, after thorough investigation. Accept only that which contributes to the well-being of yourself and others.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Dignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Craving brings pain craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
Gautama Buddha
Image
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Develop a mind that is vast like space, where experiences both pleasant and unpleasant can appear and disappear without conflict, struggle or harm. Rest in a mind like vast sky.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Fill your mind with compassion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If it is not truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and not helpful, don't say it. If it is not truthful and helpful, don't say it. If it is truthful and helpful, wait for the right time.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.
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
How deeply did you learn to let go?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of evil as a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of good.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The person who masters himself through self-control and discipline is truly undefeatable.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.
Gautama Buddha
