More quotes by Gautama Buddha
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
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
Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again.
Gautama Buddha
Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.
Gautama Buddha
Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
Gautama Buddha
As a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of evil as a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of good.
Gautama Buddha
We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience.
Gautama Buddha
Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
Gautama Buddha
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
Gautama Buddha
(They) were responsible for spreading the Buddhist religion throughout India and East Asia.
Gautama Buddha
This Ariyan Eightfold Path, that is to say: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Gautama Buddha
Develop a mind that is vast like space, where experiences both pleasant and unpleasant can appear and disappear without conflict, struggle or harm. Rest in a mind like vast sky.
Gautama Buddha
Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.
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
It is impossible for a man who is bogged to extricate another who is bogged.
Gautama Buddha
The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Your actions are your only true belongings.
Gautama Buddha
Those who are pure in heart and single in purpose are able to understand the most supreme Way. It is like polishing a mirror, which becomes bright when the dust is removed. Remove your passions, and have no hankering.
Gautama Buddha
Do not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama Buddha
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Gautama Buddha
