Quote

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha

Image
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
Image
However young, the seeker who sets out upon the way Shines bright over the world. But day and night the person who is awake Shines in the radiance of the spirit. Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work, with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine!
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
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All tremble at violence all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If there is a God, it is inconceivable that he would be concerned about my day to day affairs.
Gautama Buddha
Image
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As you travel though life, offer good wishes to each being you meet.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Though through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.
Gautama Buddha
Image
These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Little by little a person becomes evil, as a water pot is filled by drops of water... Little by little a person becomes good, as a water pot is filled by drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Understand that the body is merely the foam of a wave, the shadow of a shadow.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A person creates what they defend against.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
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
May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.
Gautama Buddha
