More quotes by Gautama Buddha
A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
Gautama Buddha
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.
Gautama Buddha
Life is easy For the man who is without shame, Impudent as a crow, A vicious gossip, Vain, meddlesome, dissolute. But life is hard For the man who quietly undertakes The way of perfection, With purity, detachment and vigor. He sees light.
Gautama Buddha
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
Gautama Buddha
From a withered tree, a flower blooms
Gautama Buddha
They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.
Gautama Buddha
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Gautama Buddha
To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.
Gautama Buddha
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
Gautama Buddha
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Gautama Buddha
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
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
Embrace nothing: If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, Not bound to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Whenever and wherever one encounters the arising and passing away of the mental-physical structure, one enjoys bliss and delight, which lead on to the deathless stage experienced by the wise
Gautama Buddha
The more completely we give of ourselves, the more completely the world gives back to us.
Gautama Buddha
The right time to show your good character is when you are pestered by someone weaker than you.
Gautama Buddha
Follow then the shining ones, the wise, the awakened, the loving, for they know how to work and forbear.
Gautama Buddha
A man should first direct himself in the way he should go. Only then should he instruct others.
Gautama Buddha
Suffering is an illusion.
Gautama Buddha
