Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not speak harshly to any one those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Believe not because some old manuscripts are produced, believe not because it is your national belief, believe not because you have been made to believe from you childhood, but reason truth out, and after you have analyzed it, then if you find it will do good to one and all, believe it, live up to it and help others live up to it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
What is evil? Killing is evil, lying is evil, slandering is evil, abuse is evil, gossip is evil, envy is evil, hatred is evil, to cling to false doctrine is evil all these things are evil. And what is the root of evil? Desire is the root of evil, illusion is the root of evil.
Gautama Buddha
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
Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.

Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child.
Gautama Buddha

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
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sometime, somewhere you take something to be the truth. But if you cling to it too strongly, then even when the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All rising to great places is by a winding stair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form
Gautama Buddha

To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Health is the first benefit. Content is the first fortune. Friendliness is the first kindness. Nirvana is the first happiness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You have to do your own work Enlightened Ones will only show the way. Those who practise meditation will free themselves from the chains of death

Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

Suffering, if it does not diminish love, will transport us to the furthest shore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss.

Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: We will grow in the increase of wisdom Thus you should train yourselves.
