Flower and thorn are in the same stem.
Gautama Buddha

It is because I perceive the danger in the practice of mystic wonders, that I loath, abhor, and am ashamed thereof.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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

Let him the intelligent man admonish, let him teach, let him forbid what is improper ! - he will be beloved of the good, by the bad he will be hated.
Gautama Buddha
Image
No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.
Gautama Buddha
Image
No matter what path you choose, really walk it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.
Gautama Buddha
Image
'Wherefore, brethren, thus must ye train yourselves : Liberation of the will through love will develop, we will often practice it, we will make it vehicle and base, take our stand upon it, store it up, throughly set it going.'
Gautama Buddha
Image
No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else
Gautama Buddha
Image
Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who are ashamed of what they ought not to be ashamed and are not ashamed of what they ought to be - such men, embracing erroneous views, enter the woeful path.
Gautama Buddha
