How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool who misses the way.

As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world

Gautama Buddha
Image
There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.
Gautama Buddha
Image
We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
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
Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever's not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Before you've seen it, and when you first see it, it is the greatest thing afterwards, it is ordinary.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Giving the best to others are giving the best to us. The value of life is not based on how long we live. But, how much can we contribute to others in our society ?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.
