Quote

Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.

Wonder of wonders! Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, endowed with wisdom and virtue, but because men's minds have become inverted through delusive thinking they fail to perceive this.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
Gautama Buddha
Image
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small. This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sometime, somewhere you take something to be the truth. But if you cling to it too strongly, then even when the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.
Gautama Buddha
Image
O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The grudge you hold on to is like a hot coal that you intend to throw at someone, only you're the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Craving brings pain craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
Gautama Buddha
Image
Born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The man that is dominated by Anger Doth not know what is seemly and seeth not the Law That man whom Hate doth accompany, Becometh like unto murky darkness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
