All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
How deeply did you learn to let go?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west they originate within one's own mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who act with few desires are calm, without worry or fear.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.
Gautama Buddha
