If you are poor, live wisely. If you have riches, live wisely. It is not your station in life but your heart that brings blessings.

Gautama Buddha
Image
If a person does not harm any living being...and does not kill or cause others to kill - that person is a true spiritual practitioner
Gautama Buddha

Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey there is no companionship with a fool.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality
Gautama Buddha
Image
Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.
Gautama Buddha
Image
These are the roots of trees, O monks, these are empty huts. Meditate, monks, do not be negligent, or else you will regret it later. This is our instruction to you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Because not even the least Dharma is there found or got at. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlightenment'. Self-identical is that Dharma and nothing is therein at variance. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlighten'
Gautama Buddha
Image
Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy.
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
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let no person think lightly of good, saying in his or her heart, it will not benefit me. As by the falling of raindrops a jar of water is filled, so the wise person becomes full of good, even though he or she collects it little by little.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let him the intelligent man admonish, let him teach, let him forbid what is improper ! - he will be beloved of the good, by the bad he will be hated.
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
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
