Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.

Image
May I hold myself in compassion. May I meet the suffering and ignorance of others with compassion.

Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.

First of all there will appear to you, swifter than lightning, the luminous splendor of the colorless light of Emptiness, and that will surround you on all sides. ...Try to submerge yourself in that light, giving up all belief in a separate self, all attachment to your illusory ego.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A fool thinks it like honey so long as the bad deed does not bear fruit, but when it does bear fruit he experiences suffering.
Gautama Buddha
Image
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Do not speak harshly to any one those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If we can look upon our work not for self-benefit,but as a means to benefit society,we will be practicing appreciation and patience in our daily lives.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If we destroy something around us we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourselves.
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
Buddha is in our hearts. Buddha is in our mouths. Buddha is in our daily lives.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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.
