Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.

Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
Gautama Buddha

No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.

Gautama Buddha
Image
He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small. This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The heavens and the earth may be captured by the mind's eye.
Gautama Buddha
Image
In the light of his vision that is the perspective that allows him to be grateful that things are not worse he has found his freedom and joy: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To stop suffering, stop greediness. Greediness is a source of suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.
Gautama Buddha
