Image
Seeing the Way is like going into a dark room with a torch the darkness instantly departs, while the light alone remains. When the Way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Dharma is not upheld by talking about it. Dharma is upheld by living in harmony with it.
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
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

War ends only when people love each other.

Gautama Buddha
Image
For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You must take action yourself, for Buddhas only teach the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As I am, so are others as others are, so am I. Having thus identified self and others, harm no one nor have them harmed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The man that is dominated by Anger Doth not know what is seemly and seeth not the Law That man whom Hate doth accompany, Becometh like unto murky darkness.
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
He who is grateful doesn't suffer.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
Gautama Buddha
