More quotes by Gautama Buddha
The person who masters himself through self-control and discipline is truly undefeatable.
Gautama Buddha
We are shaped by our thoughts we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Life is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.
Gautama Buddha
Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient Law.
Gautama Buddha
In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
Gautama Buddha
The darkest night is ignorance.
Gautama Buddha
Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.
Gautama Buddha
By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.
Gautama Buddha
First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha
The man who foolishly does me wrong, I will return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love and the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me.
Gautama Buddha
A man who will be the public leader, must know how to be the public follower.
Gautama Buddha
Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
Gautama Buddha
Doubt everything. Find your own light.
Gautama Buddha
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha
O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.
Gautama Buddha
To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.
Gautama Buddha
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
Gautama Buddha
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
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
