Destroy the man of wicked thoughts, Like a bamboo-tree with its fruit.

Embrace nothing: If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, Not bound to anything.
Gautama Buddha

Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.

A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: Are you a God? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a saint? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a magician? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. What are you then? I am awake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
Gautama Buddha
Image
May I hold myself in compassion. May I meet the suffering and ignorance of others with compassion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He who is grateful doesn't suffer.
Gautama Buddha

How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Few are those among men who have crossed over to the other shore, while the rest of mankind runs along the bank. However those who follow the principles of the well-taught Truth will cross over to the other shore, out of the dominion of Death, hard though it is to escape.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.

Image
By defilement of mind, beings are defiled by purification of mind, beings are purified.
