More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt
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
Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.
Gautama Buddha
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.
Gautama Buddha
To master the pride of defiant selfhood, that in truth is the highest bliss.
Gautama Buddha
Besides the respect of the lives of human beings, all the animals and plants should be on the list too. That is the real humanitarianism.
Gautama Buddha
How can one ever know anything if they are too busy thinking?
Gautama Buddha
May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.
Gautama Buddha
A contemplative should pay equal attention to concentration, energetic effort and equanimity, and not exclusively to one of these factors only.
Gautama Buddha
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
Thoughtfulness is the way to deathlessness, thoughtlessness the way to death. The thoughtful do not die: the thoughtless are as if dead already.
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
As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Gautama Buddha
Your days pass like rainbows, like a flash of lightning, like a star at dawn. Your life is short. How can you quarrel?
Gautama Buddha
What you have become is the result of what you have thought
Gautama Buddha
Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
Gautama Buddha
Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.
Gautama Buddha
