Quote

You are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand. You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.

Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as you have come to know, the false discrimination of yourself, apply this mentally to all phenomena
Gautama Buddha
Image
Doubt everything. Find your own light.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: Are you a God? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a saint? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a magician? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. What are you then? I am awake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is because I perceive the danger in the practice of mystic wonders, that I loath, abhor, and am ashamed thereof.
Gautama Buddha
Image
We are shaped by our thoughts we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
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
A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Develop a mind that is vast like space, where experiences both pleasant and unpleasant can appear and disappear without conflict, struggle or harm. Rest in a mind like vast sky.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Know well what holds you back, and what moves you forward
Gautama Buddha
Image
One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Be the witness of your thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself give up the bad and embrace the good.
Gautama Buddha
Image
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.
Gautama Buddha
