Quote

When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.

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
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
The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as the bee takes the nectar and leaves without damaging the color or scent of the flowers, so should the sage act in a village.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The seeker is that which is being sought.
Gautama Buddha

Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Suffering is an illusion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Make of yourself a light.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever grounds there are for making merit productive of a future birth, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the liberation of mind by loving-kindness. The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them and shines forth, bright and brilliant.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
