There is pleasure And there is bliss. Forgo the first to possess the second. If you are happy At the expense of another man's happiness, You are forever bound.

If there be one righteous person, the rain falls for his sake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Gautama Buddha
Image
No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.

Gautama Buddha
Image
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One should refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Winter always turns into Spring.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Be it known that Men of dull faculties and slight wisdom, They who cling proudly to signs, Cannot believe in this Dharma. Now I, joyfully and fearlessly, In the midst of the bodhisattvas Frankly casting aside my expedient devices, Merely preach the Unexcelled Path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not be jealous of others' good qualities, but out of admiration adopt them yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
But ...meat eating in any form, in any manner, and in any place is unconditionally and once and for all prohibited ...Meat eating I have not permitted to anyone, I do not permit, I will not permit.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A raft needed to cross the river is discarded when the other shore is reached, not carried about on one's head.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not speak harshly to any one those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Comparing oneself to others in such terms as Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I, he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.
Gautama Buddha
