More quotes by Gautama Buddha
A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
Gautama Buddha
All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.
Gautama Buddha
There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.
Gautama Buddha
Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
Gautama Buddha
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
Gautama Buddha
Regard this fleeting world like this: Like stars fading and vanishing at dawn, like bubbles on a fast-moving stream, like morning dewdrops evaporating on blades of grass, like a candle flickering in a strong wind... echoes, mirages, and phantoms, hallucinations, and like a dream.
Gautama Buddha
As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths are made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.
Gautama Buddha
If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Gautama Buddha
Focusnot on the rudeness of others,not on what they've done or left undone,but on what you have done and have not doneyourself.
Gautama Buddha
Karma grows from our hearts. Karma terminates from our hearts.
Gautama Buddha
There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.
Gautama Buddha
Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Gautama Buddha
As long as one feels that he is the doer, he cannot escape from the wheel of births.
Gautama Buddha
Watering the flowers and the trees, whispering to them, talking to them. Then, they will grow to be more bright and luxuriant.
Gautama Buddha
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but to everyone else
Gautama Buddha
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
Resolutely train yourself to attain peace
Gautama Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought it is founded on our thoughts it is made up of our thoughts. A man's life is the direct result of his thoughts... We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
Gautama Buddha
If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong. Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the dharma.
Gautama Buddha
Rely on the teaching, not on the person Rely on the meaning, not on the words Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
Gautama Buddha
