Image
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Confusion conditions activity, which conditions consciousness, which conditions embodied personality, which conditions sensory experiences, which conditions impact, which conditions mood, which conditions craving, which conditions clinging, which conditions becoming, which conditions birth, which conditions aging and death.
Gautama Buddha
Image
But ...meat eating in any form, in any manner, and in any place is unconditionally and once and for all prohibited ...Meat eating I have not permitted to anyone, I do not permit, I will not permit.
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
You are all Buddhas. There is nothing you need to achieve. Just open your eyes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Treat others with respect. How you treat others will be how they treat you.
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
Image
Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
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
If there be one righteous person, the rain falls for his sake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You should respect each other and refrain from disputes you should not, like water and oil, repel each other, but should, like milk and water, mingle together.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Seeing the similarity to oneself, one should not use violence or have it used.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
Gautama Buddha
Image
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west people create disticntions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Doubt everything. Find your own light.
Gautama Buddha
Image
At the bottom of things, most people want to be understood and appreciated.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Be greatly aware of the present.
Gautama Buddha
