A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
Image
By giving away food we get more strength. By bestowing clothing on others we gain more beauty. By donating abodes of purity and truth we acquire great treasures.

Image
It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha

A fool thinks it like honey so long as the bad deed does not bear fruit, but when it does bear fruit he experiences suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are having flowers in Spring, breezes in Summer, moon in Autumn, snows in Winter. If there is nothing worrying over you, it will be the best seasons at all times.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let us live in joy, never falling sick like those who hate us. Let us live in freedom, without hatred even among those who hate.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If beings knew, as I know, the results of giving & sharing, they would not eat without having given.
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
If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There's a treasury full of jade and jewels It is in you. Don't go searching far from home for it-it's here.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Household life is crowded and dusty life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
Gautama Buddha
