Image
Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You are all the Buddha.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.
Gautama Buddha
Image
No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You yourself must make an effort. Buddhas are only show the way. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You are all Buddhas. There is nothing you need to achieve. Just open your eyes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As soon as we think we are safe, something unexpected happens.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters hiself and minds the law.
Gautama Buddha
Image
What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil, envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Life is dear to all beings, they have the right to live the same that we do.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.
Gautama Buddha
