More quotes by Gautama Buddha
The wise have mastered body, word, and mind. They are the true masters.
Gautama Buddha
One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.
Gautama Buddha
In exactly the same way, ... scatter your body, your feeling, your perception, your predispositions, your discriminative consciousness, break them up, knock them down, cease to play with them, apply yourself to the destruction of craving for them. Verily, ... the extinction of craving is Nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
All tremble at violence all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Gautama Buddha
It is within this fathoms-long carcass, with its mind and its notions, that I declare there is the world, the origin of the world, the cessation of the world and the path leading to the cessation of the world.
Gautama Buddha
Few cross over the river. Most are stranded on this side. On the riverbank they run up and down. But the wise man, following the way, Crosses over, beyond the reach of death. He leaves the dark way For the way of light.
Gautama Buddha
Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others
Gautama Buddha
Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Let us live most happily, free from hatred in the midst of the hateful Let us remain free from hatred in the midst of people who hate.
Gautama Buddha
The darkest night is ignorance.
Gautama Buddha
Watering the flowers and the trees, whispering to them, talking to them. Then, they will grow to be more bright and luxuriant.
Gautama Buddha
It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha
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
A man may conquer a million men in battle but one who conquers himself is, indeed, the greatest of conquerors.
Gautama Buddha
The deluding passions are inexhaustible. I vow to extinguish them all. The number of beings is endless. I vow to save them all. The Truth cannot be told. I vow to explain it. The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable. I vow to attain it.
Gautama Buddha
Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.
Gautama Buddha
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha
Do not give up your authority and follow blindly the will of others. This way will lead to only delusion.
Gautama Buddha
It is not life and wealth and power that enslave men, but the cleaving to life and wealth and power.
Gautama Buddha
