Doing the good deeds is like the grass in the garden. You don't see its growth. But, it does by days. Doing the wicked deeds is like the hone. You don't see its damage. But, it does by days.
Gautama Buddha

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Gautama Buddha

An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.
Gautama Buddha

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All tremble at violence all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The evils of the body are murder, theft, and adultery of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse and idle talk of the mind, covetousness, hatred and error.
Gautama Buddha
Image
...One who possesses four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What four? Bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, mental good conduct, and gratitude or thankfulness. One possessing these four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there.
Gautama Buddha
