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
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality
Gautama Buddha
Image
For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
For innumerable reasons, Mahamati, the Bodhisattva, whose nature is compassion, is not to eat any meat.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pity arises when we are sorry for someone.Compassion is when we understand and help wisely.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
The man who foolishly does me wrong, I will return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love and the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
Image
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
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
Image
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
Image
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gautama Buddha
