More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Giving the best to others are giving the best to us. The value of life is not based on how long we live. But, how much can we contribute to others in our society ?
Gautama Buddha
We begin to die from the moment we are born, for birth is the cause of death. The nature of decay is inherent in youth, the nature of sickness is inherent in health, in the midst of life we are verily in death.
Gautama Buddha
Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.
Gautama Buddha
If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
You throw thorns, falling in my silence they become flowers.
Gautama Buddha
So too, monks, I saw the ancient path, the ancient road traveled by the Perfectly Enlightened Ones of the past. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
Gautama Buddha
And so, with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings.
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
A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.
Gautama Buddha
Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.
Gautama Buddha
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Gautama Buddha
When one sees that everything exists as an illusion, one can live in a higher sphere than ordinary man.

Be greatly aware of the present.
Gautama Buddha
