More quotes by Gautama Buddha
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
Cultivation of meditative stability alone, will not destroy the discrimination of inherent existence. Afflictive emotions can return, making all sorts of disturbances
Gautama Buddha
Drink deeply. Live in serenity and joy.
Gautama Buddha
By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.
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
Those which are produced from causes are not produced. they do not have an inherent nature of production. those which depend on causes are said to be empty those who know emptiness are aware.
Gautama Buddha
Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
Gautama Buddha
Make of yourself a light.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Whatsoever misfortunes there are Here in this world or in the next, They all have their root in Ignorance And in the accumulation of Longing and Desire.
Gautama Buddha
They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Gautama Buddha
Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith
Gautama Buddha
You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.
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
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama Buddha
Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. The elephant hauls himself from the mud. In the same way drag yourself out of your sloth.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
Gautama Buddha
