More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.
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
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Gautama Buddha
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
Dignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Follow not after the vain, understand the ills of sense pleasures. One who is vigilant and meditative, obtains deep joy.
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
Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height.
Gautama Buddha
Not even death can wipe out our good deeds
Gautama Buddha
Comparing oneself to others in such terms as Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I, he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.
Gautama Buddha
I will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
Gautama Buddha
Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others
Gautama Buddha
As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.
Gautama Buddha
There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.
Gautama Buddha
In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.
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
It is good to have companions when occasion arises, and it is good to be contented with whatever comes.
Gautama Buddha
If one doth act in friendly wise, With no evil thought toward any single creature, And in so doing becometh proper, And if he have compassion in his soul Toward all living beings--this noble one Doth acquire abundant Virtue.
Gautama Buddha
Follow the way of virtue. Follow the way joyfully through this world and on beyond.
Gautama Buddha
Winning gives birth to hostility Losing, one lies down in pain. The calmed lie down with ease, having set winning and losing aside.
Gautama Buddha
