More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.
Gautama Buddha
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
Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.
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
The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality
Gautama Buddha
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
There are two things that we should avoid, oh disciple! A life of pleasures, that is low and vain. A life of mortification, that is useless and vain.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.
Gautama Buddha
We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience.
Gautama Buddha
They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.

Gautama Buddha
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all.
Gautama Buddha
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
'As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I.' Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.
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
The greatest victory is the one over oneself.
Gautama Buddha
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.
Gautama Buddha
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
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
