More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith
Gautama Buddha
The man who foolishly does me wrong, I will return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love and the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me.
Gautama Buddha
He who is kind to animals heaven will protect.
Gautama Buddha
Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.
Gautama Buddha
A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever grounds there are for making merit productive of a future birth, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the liberation of mind by loving-kindness. The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them and shines forth, bright and brilliant.
Gautama Buddha
Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.
Gautama Buddha
If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.
Gautama Buddha
He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Gautama Buddha
Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.
Gautama Buddha
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Gautama Buddha
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
Gautama Buddha
If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Gautama Buddha
And so, with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings.
Gautama Buddha
Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.
Gautama Buddha
The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.
Gautama Buddha
Know what you do not know.
Gautama Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Gautama Buddha
There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.
Gautama Buddha
As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.
Gautama Buddha
