Quote

Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again

Image
The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.
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

Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment chop wood, carry water.

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
Image
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
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
You only lose that which you cling to.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He who wrongs the innocent must bear the fruit of his act, like dust flung against the wind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.
Gautama Buddha

(They) were responsible for spreading the Buddhist religion throughout India and East Asia.
Gautama Buddha
Image
For innumerable reasons, Mahamati, the Bodhisattva, whose nature is compassion, is not to eat any meat.
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
In the light of his vision that is the perspective that allows him to be grateful that things are not worse he has found his freedom and joy: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The hunger of passions is the greatest disease.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
