More quotes by Gautama Buddha
I knew that most people never see this reality because they attach to the material aspect of the world. Illusions of self and other fill their vision. I also realized there are those with little dust limiting their vision.
Gautama Buddha
We begin to die from the moment we are born, for birth is the cause of death. The nature of decay is inherent in youth, the nature of sickness is inherent in health, in the midst of life we are verily in death.
Gautama Buddha
Love is a fleeting emotion, to reach true nirvana one must know themselves and forsake love, for it breeds contempt
Gautama Buddha
War ends only when people love each other.
Gautama Buddha
Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.
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
Do not close your eyes before suffering. Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, Including personal contact and visits, images, sound. By such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
Gautama Buddha
Don't rely on logic alone, nor speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances.
Gautama Buddha
Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind his hands are sure to be burned.
Gautama Buddha
To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.
Gautama Buddha
Do not be the judge of people do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgments about others.
Gautama Buddha
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.
Gautama Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha
Though through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.
Gautama Buddha
Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.
Gautama Buddha
Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.
Gautama Buddha
A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.
Gautama Buddha
It is impossible to underestimate the significance of your today's choices
Gautama Buddha
Give the people - confidence. Give the people - delight. Give the people - hope. Give the people - the best.
Gautama Buddha
