There is no meditation without wisdom, and there is no wisdom without meditation. When a man has both meditation and wisdom, he is indeed close to nirvana.

Image
Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The man that is dominated by Anger Doth not know what is seemly and seeth not the Law That man whom Hate doth accompany, Becometh like unto murky darkness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
Gautama Buddha

Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Gautama Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought what we think we become.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.
Gautama Buddha
