Quote

Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.

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
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Thoughtfulness is the way to deathlessness, thoughtlessness the way to death. The thoughtful do not die: the thoughtless are as if dead already.
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
Drink deeply. Live in serenity and joy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
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
Image
First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pain is the outcome of sin.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All composite things decay. Strive diligently.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Craving brings pain craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
Gautama Buddha
Image
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?
Gautama Buddha
