More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.
Gautama Buddha
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
The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.
Gautama Buddha
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
Like fresh milk a bad deed does not turn at once. It follows a fool scorching him like a smouldering fire.
Gautama Buddha
Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.
Gautama Buddha
Just as you have come to know, the false discrimination of yourself, apply this mentally to all phenomena
Gautama Buddha
It is your mind that creates the world.
Gautama Buddha
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
Gautama Buddha
Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.
Gautama Buddha
Destroy the man of wicked thoughts, Like a bamboo-tree with its fruit.
Gautama Buddha
With good will for the entire cosmos, cultivate a limitless heart: above, below, and all around, unobstructed, without hostility or hate.
Gautama Buddha
In the light of his vision that is the perspective that allows him to be grateful that things are not worse he has found his freedom and joy: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
Gautama Buddha
Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama Buddha
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
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
Gautama Buddha
The holy man is beyond time, he does not depend on any view nor subscribe to any sect all current theories he understands, but he remains unattached to any of them.
Gautama Buddha
Anyone who is not working toward the truth is missing the whole point of living.
Gautama Buddha
You must use the hook of precepts to quickly remove it.
Gautama Buddha
