Quote

A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.

Image
It is our minds that create this world.
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
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
Comparing oneself to others in such terms as Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I, he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream A flash of lightning in a summer cloud A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream
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
There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Gautama Buddha
Image
At the bottom of things, most people want to be understood and appreciated.
Gautama Buddha
Image
And he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is better if a man has attained firm strength.
Gautama Buddha
Image
O men! you can take life easily but, remember, none of you can give life! So, have mercy, have compassion! And, never forget, that compassion makes the world noble and beautiful.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like fresh milk a bad deed does not turn at once. It follows a fool scorching him like a smouldering fire.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The Buddhas do but tell the way it is for you to swelter at the task.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Karma grows from our hearts. Karma terminates from our hearts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I am a finger pointing to the moon. Don't look at me look at the moon.
Gautama Buddha
Image
However young, the seeker who sets out upon the way Shines bright over the world. But day and night the person who is awake Shines in the radiance of the spirit. Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine!
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are three things that cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I have the body of a GOD
Gautama Buddha
Image
He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.
Gautama Buddha
