More quotes by Gautama Buddha

Image
For soon the body is discarded, Then what does it feel? A useless log of wood, it lies on the ground, Then what does it know? Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A jug fills drop by drop.
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
Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If one doth act in friendly wise, With no evil thought toward any single creature, And in so doing becometh proper, And if he have compassion in his soul Toward all living beings--this noble one Doth acquire abundant Virtue.
Gautama Buddha

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
May we live like the lotus, at home in muddy water.
Gautama Buddha

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Confusion conditions activity, which conditions consciousness, which conditions embodied personality, which conditions sensory experiences, which conditions impact, which conditions mood, which conditions craving, which conditions clinging, which conditions becoming, which conditions birth, which conditions aging and death.
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
Image
If you want to know the past, look at your present. If you want to know the future, look at your present.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A contemplative should pay equal attention to concentration, energetic effort and equanimity, and not exclusively to one of these factors only.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are having flowers in Spring, breezes in Summer, moon in Autumn, snows in Winter. If there is nothing worrying over you, it will be the best seasons at all times.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool says, These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money. In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind
Gautama Buddha
Image
One of his students asked Buddha, Are you the Messiah? No, answered Buddha. Then are you a healer? No, Buddha replied. Then are you a teacher? the student persisted. No, I am not a teacher. Then what are you? asked the student exasperated. I am awake, Buddha replied.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is no fire like greed, No crime like hatred, No sorrow like separation, No sickness like hunger of heart, And no joy like the joy of freedom. Health, contentment and trust Are your greatest possessions, And freedom your greatest joy. Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment, Know the sweet joy of living in the way.
Gautama Buddha
