How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as one can make a lot of garlands from a heap of flowers, so man, subject to birth and death as he is, should make himself a lot of good karma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The deluding passions are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all. The number of beings is endless. I vow to save them all. The Truth cannot be told. I vow to explain it. The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Holding on to anger is like poisoning yourself and hoping someone else will die.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
It is easy to see the faults of others... it is hard to see our own.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If a viper lives in your room and you wish to have a peaceful sleep, you must first chase it out.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever the hateful do to the hateful, or an enemy to an enemy, worse is the harm of a misguided mind directed at oneself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I know what I gave them I don't know what they received.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When ignorant people see someone who is dead, they are disgusted and horrified, even thought they too will be dead some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After then, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with life anymore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to others.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as the dawn is the forerunner of the arising of the sun, so true friendship is the forerunner of the arising of the noble eightfold path.
Gautama Buddha
Image
That which goeth up must needs come down and that which is down must needs go up. But Brahma has ordained that the that that goeth up is seldom the same as the that that hath gone down.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy is your best teacher.
