This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?

Image
An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I am a finger pointing to the moon. Don't look at me look at the moon.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Life is uncertain death is certain.
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
Image
Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again.
Gautama Buddha
Image
An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong. Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the dharma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.
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
Suffering is an illusion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.
Gautama Buddha
Image
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The less you have, the less you have to worry about.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You create what you defend against.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A generous heart, kind speech, & a life of service & compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Realizing the doctrine of dependent-arising, the wise do not at all partake of extreme views
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wonder of wonders! Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, endowed with wisdom and virtue, but because men's minds have become inverted through delusive thinking they fail to perceive this.
