More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Gautama Buddha
Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done observe what you yourself have done or not done.
Gautama Buddha
My whole life, I never spoke a single-word.
Gautama Buddha
As a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of evil as a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of good.
Gautama Buddha
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha
If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
Gautama Buddha
May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.
Gautama Buddha
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
I, ever knowing the living beings Who tread the Path and those who do not In response to those who may be saved Preach to them a variety of dharmas, Each time having this thought: 'How may I cause the beings To contrive to enter the Unexcelled Path and quickly to perfect the Buddha-body?'
Gautama Buddha
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama Buddha
Resolutely train yourself to attain peace
Gautama Buddha
If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey there is no companionship with a fool.
Gautama Buddha
Give thanks for what had been given to you, However little. Be pure, never falter.
Gautama Buddha
Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.
Gautama Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Gautama Buddha
Make of yourself a light.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever the hateful do to the hateful, or an enemy to an enemy, worse is the harm of a misguided mind directed at oneself.
Gautama Buddha
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.
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
