More quotes by Gautama Buddha
We begin to die from the moment we are born, for birth is the cause of death. The nature of decay is inherent in youth, the nature of sickness is inherent in health, in the midst of life we are verily in death.
Gautama Buddha
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
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
Our life is a creation of our mind.
Gautama Buddha
Therefore, do not eat meat which will cause terror among people, because it hinders the truth of emancipation not to eat meat? this is the mark of the wise.
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
How easy it is to see your brother's faults, How hard it is to face your own.
Gautama Buddha
More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.
Gautama Buddha
You should respect each other and refrain from disputes you should not, like water and oil, repel each other, but should, like milk and water, mingle together.
Gautama Buddha
The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.
Gautama Buddha
Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.
Gautama Buddha
Observe the life by cause and consequence. Explore the life by wisdom. Treat the life by equality. Complete the life by love.
Gautama Buddha
Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side.
Gautama Buddha
Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.
Gautama Buddha
Whoever sees me sees the teaching, and whoever sees the teaching sees me.
Gautama Buddha
Give the people - confidence. Give the people - delight. Give the people - hope. Give the people - the best.
Gautama Buddha
War ends only when people love each other.
Gautama Buddha
The recollected go forth to lives of renunciation. They take no pleasure in a fixed abode. Like wild swans abandoning a pool, they leave one resting place after another.
Gautama Buddha
Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever's not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.
Gautama Buddha
