Image
There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of evil as a single drop of water fills a bucket, so do small deeds of good.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The recollected go forth to lives of renunciation. They take no pleasure in a fixed abode. Like wild swans abandoning a pool, they leave one resting place after another.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Radiate boundless love towards the entire world - above, below, and across - unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Life is dear to all beings, they have the right to live the same that we do.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A contemplative should pay equal attention to concentration, energetic effort and equanimity, and not exclusively to one of these factors only.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Fools wait for a lucky day, but everyday is a lucky day for an industrious man.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A fool who recognises his own ignorance is thereby in fact a wise man, but a fool who considers himself wise - that is what one really calls a fool.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Sustaining a loving heart, even for a moment, makes one a spiritual being.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Flower and thorn are in the same stem.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who consider the inessential to be essential And see the essential as inessential Don't reach the essential, Living in the field of wrong intention
Gautama Buddha
