Quote

One should follow a man of wisdom who rebukes one for one's faults, as one would follow a guide to some buried treasure. To one who follows such a wise man, it will be an advantage and not a disadvantage.

Image
The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again.
Gautama Buddha
Image
These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He who wrongs the innocent must bear the fruit of his act, like dust flung against the wind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A contemplative should pay equal attention to concentration, energetic effort and equanimity, and not exclusively to one of these factors only.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure this is the greatest welfare
Gautama Buddha
Image
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You are what you think about.
Gautama Buddha
Image
May everyone be happy and safe, and may their hearts be filled with joy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on therefore, one should control oneself of all.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Offend in neither word nor deed. Eat with moderation. Live in your heart. Seek the highest consciousness. Master yourself according to the law. This is the simple teaching of the awakened.
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
You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit.
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
Know what you do not know.
