Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
'As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.' Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Treat not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If a man should conquer in battle a thousand and a thousand more, and another should conquer himself, his would be the greater victory, because the greatest of victories is the victory over oneself.
Gautama Buddha

As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One of his students asked Buddha, Are you the Messiah? No, answered Buddha. Then are you a healer? No, Buddha replied. Then are you a teacher? the student persisted. No, I am not a teacher. Then what are you? asked the student exasperated. I am awake, Buddha replied.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All beings tremble before violence. All love life. All fear death. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?
Gautama Buddha
Image
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
