More quotes by 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
You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.
Gautama Buddha
In protecting oneself, others are protected In protecting others, oneself is protected.
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again

As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all.
Gautama Buddha
The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Our problems are not solved by physical force, by hatred, by warOur problems are solved by loving kindness by gentleness, by joy
Gautama Buddha
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
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
Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.
Gautama Buddha
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
If there is a God, it is inconceivable that he would be concerned about my day to day affairs.
Gautama Buddha
