More quotes by Gautama Buddha
For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.
Gautama Buddha
When one drives away the negligent through vigilance, he climbs the heights of wisdom, and can see the suffering masses. Serene, you look upon the lost like one that stands on a mountain sees those that stand upon the plain.
Gautama Buddha
When faced with the vicissitudes of life, one's mind remains unshaken, sorrow-less, stainless, secure this is the greatest welfare
Gautama Buddha
Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
Gautama Buddha
A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
Gautama Buddha
Let a man overcome anger by love.
Gautama Buddha
Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
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.
Gautama Buddha
With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.
Gautama Buddha
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
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
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
Gautama Buddha
Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Observe the life by cause and consequence. Explore the life by wisdom. Treat the life by equality. Complete the life by love.
Gautama Buddha
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
The hunger of passions is the greatest disease.
Gautama Buddha
An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.
Gautama Buddha
