More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Do not say anything harsh: what you have said will be said back to you.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever the hateful do to the hateful, or an enemy to an enemy, worse is the harm of a misguided mind directed at oneself.
Gautama Buddha
Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind Your life will bring heaven to earth.
Gautama Buddha
Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.
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
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Gautama Buddha
He who harms living beings is, for that reason, not an ariya (a Noble One) he who does not harm any living being is called an ariya.
Gautama Buddha
He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose dwelling place is an empty and imageless release - the way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.
Gautama Buddha
Seeing the Way is like going into a dark room with a torch the darkness instantly departs, while the light alone remains. When the Way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.
Gautama Buddha
Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?
Gautama Buddha
You must use the hook of precepts to quickly remove it.
Gautama Buddha
If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they would not eat without having given.
Gautama Buddha
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Gautama Buddha
Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.
Gautama Buddha
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
