More quotes by Gautama Buddha
It is more important to prevent animal suffering, rather than sit to contemplate the evils of the universe praying in the company of priests.
Gautama Buddha
A wrong action may not bring its reaction at once, even as fresh milk turns not sour at once: like a smouldering fire concealed under ashes it consumes the wrongdoer, the fool.
Gautama Buddha
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
O how sweet it is to enjoy life, Living in honesty and strength! And wisdom is sweet, And freedom.
Gautama Buddha
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha
Do not interrogate silence because silence is mute do not expect anything from the gods, nor should you try to bribe them with gifts, because it is in ourselves that we must look for liberation.
Gautama Buddha
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
Those who, relying upon themselves only, not looking for assistance to anyone besides themselves, it is they who will reach the top-most height.
Gautama Buddha
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
Love the whole world as a mother loves her only child.
Gautama Buddha
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
Gautama Buddha
Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.
Gautama Buddha
One is not low because of birth nor does birth make one holy. Deeds alone make one low, deeds alone make one holy.
Gautama Buddha
Sometime, somewhere you take something to be the truth. But if you cling to it too strongly, then even when the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it.
Gautama Buddha
There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.
Gautama Buddha
Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.
Gautama Buddha
Give the people - confidence. Give the people - delight. Give the people - hope. Give the people - the best.
Gautama Buddha
If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.
Gautama Buddha
Nothing ever exists entirely alone everything is in relation to everythiong else.
Gautama Buddha
