Anyone who is not working toward the truth is missing the whole point of living.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who are ashamed of what they ought not to be ashamed and are not ashamed of what they ought to be - such men, embracing erroneous views, enter the woeful path.
Gautama Buddha

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
A generous heart, kind speech, & a life of service & compassion are the things which renew humanity.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whoever makes love grow boundless, and sets his mind for seeing the end of birth, his fetters are worn thin. If he loves even a single being, Good will follow. But the Noble One with compassionate heart for all mankind, generates abounding good.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream A flash of lightning in a summer cloud A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream
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
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You must take action yourself, for Buddhas only teach the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are five things which no one is able to accomplish in this world: first, to cease growing old when he is growing old second, to cease being sick third, to cease dying fourth, to deny dissolution when there is dissolution fifth, to deny non-being.
Gautama Buddha
