More quotes by Gautama Buddha
When words are both true and kind, they can change the world.
Gautama Buddha
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.
Gautama Buddha
There is, Oh Monks, a not-born, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded. Monks, if that unborn, not-become, not-made, not-compounded were not, there would be no escape from this here that is born, become, made and compounded.
Gautama Buddha
Believe nothing because it is written in books. Believe nothing because wise men say it is so. Believe nothing because it is religious doctrine. Believe it only because you yourself know it to be true.
Gautama Buddha
Thoughtfulness is the way to deathlessness, thoughtlessness the way to death. The thoughtful do not die: the thoughtless are as if dead already.
Gautama Buddha
Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama Buddha
Care about your children. Just bless them instead of worrying, as every child is the little Buddha who helps his parents to grow up.
Gautama Buddha
Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient Law.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
Gautama Buddha
The heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye.
Gautama Buddha
I teach about suffering and the way to end it
Gautama Buddha
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
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
I knew that most people never see this reality because they attach to the material aspect of the world. Illusions of self and other fill their vision. I also realized there are those with little dust limiting their vision.
Gautama Buddha
Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.
Gautama Buddha
Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Gautama Buddha
Please, try to eat a bit less meat, a bit more veggies from today. Let it become a habit gradually until not to eat meat anymore. Then, observe the changing of the body and spirit after eating veggies, fruits and grains.
Gautama Buddha
