Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense.
Gautama Buddha
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Gautama Buddha
Follow the way of virtue. Follow the way joyfully through this world and on beyond.
Gautama Buddha
Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action.
Gautama Buddha
For one who is a learner and who has not yet come to master their mind, but who dwells aspiring for peace from that which binds, making it a matter concerning himself, I know of no other thing as helpful as giving close attention to the mind.
Gautama Buddha
Find out for yourself what is truth, what is real. Discover that there are virtuous things and there are non-virtuous things. Once you have discovered for yourself give up the bad and embrace the good.
Gautama Buddha
If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
Gautama Buddha
Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
Gautama Buddha
It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west they originate within one's own mind.
Gautama Buddha
It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.
Gautama Buddha
No clouds gathered in the skies and the polluted streams became clear, whilst celestial music rang through the air and the angels rejoiced with gladness. With no selfish or partial joy but for the sake of the law they rejoiced, for creation engulfed in the ocean of pain was now to obtain release.
Gautama Buddha
O men! you can take life easily but, remember, none of you can give life! So, have mercy, have compassion! And, never forget, that compassion makes the world noble and beautiful.
Gautama Buddha
No matter what path you choose, really walk it.
Gautama Buddha
Cut down the forest, not just a tree. Out of the forest of desire springs danger. By cutting down both the forest of desire and the brushwood of longing, be rid of the forest, bhikkhus.
Gautama Buddha
There are no chains like hate...dwelling on your brother's faults multiplies your own. You are far from the end of your journey.
Gautama Buddha
The right time to show your good character is when you are pestered by someone weaker than you.
Gautama Buddha
O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.
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
One is not low because of birth nor does birth make one holy. Deeds alone make one low, deeds alone make one holy.
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
