More quotes by Gautama Buddha
The method of trying to conquer hatred through hatred never succeeds in overcoming hatred. But, the method of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective. That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.
Gautama Buddha
Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.
Gautama Buddha
Follow the way of virtue. Follow the way joyfully through this world and on beyond.
Gautama Buddha
Like a caring mother holding and guarding the life of her only child, so with a boundless heart of loving kindness, hold yourself and all beings as your beloved children.
Gautama Buddha
If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on therefore, one should control oneself of all.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Gautama Buddha
Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Gautama Buddha
As I am, so are others as others are, so am I. Having thus identified self and others, harm no one nor have them harmed.
Gautama Buddha
Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others
Gautama Buddha
I do not perceive even one other thing, O monks, that when undeveloped and uncultivated entails such great suffering as the mind. The mind when undeveloped and uncultivated entails great suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
Gautama Buddha
Be vigilant guard your mind against negative thoughts
Gautama Buddha
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
Gautama Buddha
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
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
I am a finger pointing to the moon. Don't look at me look at the moon.
Gautama Buddha
The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.
Gautama Buddha
When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.
Gautama Buddha
