More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.
Gautama Buddha
I teach about suffering and the way to end it
Gautama Buddha
Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
Gautama Buddha
The evils of the body are murder, theft, and adultery of the tongue, lying, slander, abuse and idle talk of the mind, covetousness, hatred and error.
Gautama Buddha
Let a man overcome anger by love.
Gautama Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
Gautama Buddha
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Gautama Buddha
Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama Buddha
Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Be greatly aware of the present.
Gautama Buddha
If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
He who harms living beings is, for that reason, not an ariya (a Noble One) he who does not harm any living being is called an ariya.
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
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
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
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
Inner freedom is not guided by our efforts it comes from seeing what is true.
Gautama Buddha
The holy man is beyond time, he does not depend on any view nor subscribe to any sect all current theories he understands, but he remains unattached to any of them.
Gautama Buddha
