Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.
Gautama Buddha
Attachment leads to suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.
Gautama Buddha
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
Gautama Buddha
Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
Don't pray for lighter burdens, but for stronger backs.
Gautama Buddha
Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward
Gautama Buddha
It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west they originate within one's own 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
Keeping away for all evil deeds, cultivation of life by doing good deeds and purification of mind from mental impunities.
Gautama Buddha
In protecting oneself, others are protected In protecting others, oneself is protected.
Gautama Buddha
Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Mutual respect and mutual listening are the foundations of harmony within the family.
Gautama Buddha
To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.
Gautama Buddha
Things are not what they appear to be: nor are they otherwise.
Gautama Buddha
I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.
Gautama Buddha
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.
Gautama Buddha
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.
Gautama Buddha
