The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
Gautama Buddha
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.
Gautama Buddha
Following the Noble Path is like entering a dark room with a light in the hand the darkness will all be cleared away, and the room will be filled with light.
Gautama Buddha
Suffering, if it does not diminish love, will transport us to the furthest shore.
Gautama Buddha
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
Gautama Buddha
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
Gautama Buddha
Let him the intelligent man admonish, let him teach, let him forbid what is improper ! - he will be beloved of the good, by the bad he will be hated.
Gautama Buddha
He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.
Gautama Buddha
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
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
...One who possesses four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What four? Bodily good conduct, verbal good conduct, mental good conduct, and gratitude or thankfulness. One possessing these four qualities is deposited in heaven as if brought there.
Gautama Buddha
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.
Gautama Buddha
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
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
