Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let none find fault with others let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.

The shallow is easy to embrace, but the profound is difficult. To discard the shallow and seek the profound is the way of a person of courage.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha

Within this moment, the only moment that exists, the past, present and future are contained.
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
There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fiercest fire is hatred.
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
All that has been hidden is rising, there is no stopping it! These things you cannot hide: the sun, the moon, and TRUTH.
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
For those who are ready the door to the deathless state is open. If you have ears give up the conditions that bind you and enter in.
