More quotes by Gautama Buddha
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
Wherever we go, wherever we remain, the results of our actions follow us.
Gautama Buddha
Death carries off a man busy picking flowers with an besotted mind, like a great flood does a sleeping village.
Gautama Buddha
Life is uncertain death is certain.
Gautama Buddha
You create what you defend against.
Gautama Buddha
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Gautama Buddha
Our life is a creation of our mind.
Gautama Buddha
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
Gautama Buddha
If a viper lives in your room and you wish to have a peaceful sleep, you must first chase it out.
Gautama Buddha
Like fresh milk a bad deed does not turn at once. It follows a fool scorching him like a smouldering fire.
Gautama Buddha
A wrong action may not bring its reaction at once, even as fresh milk turns not sour at once: like a smouldering fire concealed under ashes it consumes the wrongdoer, the fool.
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
As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world
Gautama Buddha
If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
Gautama Buddha
Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.
Gautama Buddha
Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.
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
He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Gautama Buddha
Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!
Gautama Buddha
