Quote

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.

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
When one drives away the negligent through vigilance, he climbs the heights of wisdom, and can see the suffering masses. Serene, you look upon the lost like one that stands on a mountain sees those that stand upon the plain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakable.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
Gautama Buddha
Image
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
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
As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Be the witness of your thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is impossible to underestimate the significance of your today's choices
Gautama Buddha
Image
You are what you think about.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Cut down the forest, not just a tree. Out of the forest of desire springs danger. By cutting down both the forest of desire and the brushwood of longing, be rid of the forest, bhikkhus.
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
If you do not follow the right path, you will be lost.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
And so, with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
That which goeth up must needs come down and that which is down must needs go up. But Brahma has ordained that the that that goeth up is seldom the same as the that that hath gone down.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
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
Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.
Gautama Buddha
