Image
Be lamps unto yourselves be your own confidence. Hold truth within yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fiercest fire is hatred.
Gautama Buddha
Image
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.
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
You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.
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
All beings are not only the parents in the past. They will become the Buddha in the future. If you free their lives, you are Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Radiate boundless love towards the entire world - above, below, and across - unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The man who wears the yellow-dyed robe but is not free from stains himself, without self-restraint and integrity, is unworthy of the robe.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is your mind that creates the world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done observe what you yourself have done or not done.
Gautama Buddha
Image
O men! you can take life easily but, remember, none of you can give life! So, have mercy, have compassion! And, never forget, that compassion makes the world noble and beautiful.
Gautama Buddha
