Quote

Go forth in every direction- for the happiness, the harmony, the welfare of the many. Offer your heart, the seeds of understanding, like a lamp overturned and re-lit, illuminating the darkness.

Image
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy is your best teacher.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is no fire like passion. There are no chains like hate. Illusion is a net, Desire is a rushing river.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Tune as the sitthar, neither high nor low, and we will dance away the hearts of men.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
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
Just as the bee takes the nectar and leaves without damaging the color or scent of the flowers, so should the sage act in a village.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Teach you? I cannot teach you. Go experience for yourself
Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha
Image
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The only way to bring peace to the earth is to learn to make our own life peaceful.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If a man can control his body and mind and thereby refrains from eating animal flesh and wearing animal products, I say he will really be liberated.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
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
Make of yourself a light.
