More quotes by Gautama Buddha
When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha
A brahmin once asked The Blessed One: Are you a God? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a saint? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. Are you a magician? No, brahmin said The Blessed One. What are you then? I am awake.
Gautama Buddha
Speak the truth. Give whatever you can. Never be angry. These three steps will lead you Into the presence of the gods.
Gautama Buddha
Confusion conditions activity, which conditions consciousness, which conditions embodied personality, which conditions sensory experiences, which conditions impact, which conditions mood, which conditions craving, which conditions clinging, which conditions becoming, which conditions birth, which conditions aging and death.
Gautama Buddha
In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. This is a helpful pointer for our everyday presence-practice. Can you catch yourself angrily defending your point of view or attacking the other person's? There's the ego.
Gautama Buddha
It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.
Gautama Buddha
Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.
Gautama Buddha
You yourself must strive. The Buddhas only point the way.
Gautama Buddha
Perfect wisdom, Perfect tranquility,Perfect compassion,arise fromOur love,Our sincerity.Our understanding.
Gautama Buddha
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
Gautama Buddha
As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world
Gautama Buddha
These teachings are like a raft, to be abandoned once you have crossed the flood. Since you should abandon even good states of mind generated by these teachings, How much more so should you abandon bad states of mind!
Gautama Buddha
It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.
Gautama Buddha
With gentleness overcome anger. With generosity overcome meanness. With truth overcome deceit.
Gautama Buddha
Let none find fault with others let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.
Gautama Buddha
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Gautama Buddha
Kindnessis giving others happiness.Compassionis removing others' bitterness.Joyis freeing others from suffering.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.
Gautama Buddha
A disciplined mind brings happiness.
Gautama Buddha
