More quotes by Gautama Buddha
War ends only when people love each other.
Gautama Buddha
One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.
Gautama Buddha
Confusion conditions activity, which conditions consciousness, which conditions embodied personality, which conditions sensory experiences, which conditions impact, which conditions mood, which conditions craving, which conditions clinging, which conditions becoming, which conditions birth, which conditions aging and death.
Gautama Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha
Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
The method of trying to conquer hatred through hatred never succeeds in overcoming hatred. But, the method of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective. That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong. Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the dharma.
Gautama Buddha
The only way to bring peace to the earth is to learn to make our own life peaceful.
Gautama Buddha
It is impossible for a man who is bogged to extricate another who is bogged.
Gautama Buddha
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?
Gautama Buddha
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Gautama Buddha
Truth is always truth, untruth is always untruth. This is what matters, this is right desire.
Gautama Buddha
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
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
Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.
Gautama Buddha
The fool thinks he has won a battle when he bullies with harsh speech, but knowing how to be forbearing alone makes one victorious.
Gautama Buddha
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
