When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure this is the greatest welfare
Gautama Buddha
Image
The deluding passions are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all. The number of beings is endless. I vow to save them all. The Truth cannot be told. I vow to explain it. The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering
Gautama Buddha

Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.
Gautama Buddha

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.

Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.

It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.

In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Image
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world
Gautama Buddha
Image
Happy are those who have overcome their egos happy are those who have attained peace happy are those who have found the Truth.
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
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
Image
However young, the seeker who sets out upon the way Shines bright over the world. But day and night the person who is awake Shines in the radiance of the spirit. Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine!
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
