More quotes by Gautama Buddha
The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.
Gautama Buddha
Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
Gautama Buddha
Rely on the teaching, not on the person Rely on the meaning, not on the words Rely on the definitive meaning, not on the provisional Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary mind.
Gautama Buddha
Happiness never decreased by being shared.
Gautama Buddha
It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.
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
Sandalwood, tagara, lotus, jasmine - the fragrance of virtue is unrivalled by such kinds of perfume.
Gautama Buddha
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
A fool thinks it like honey so long as the bad deed does not bear fruit, but when it does bear fruit he experiences suffering.
Gautama Buddha
The gift of truth excels all other gifts.
Gautama Buddha
Household life is crowded and dusty life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.
Gautama Buddha
Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama Buddha
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
Better than a meaningless story of a thousand words is a single word of deep meaning which, when heard, produces peace.
Gautama Buddha
One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
Gautama Buddha
If you are poor, live wisely. If you have riches, live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.
Gautama Buddha
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Gautama Buddha
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Suffering is an illusion.
Gautama Buddha
