Mindfulness of the body leads to nirvana.
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
If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present.
Gautama Buddha
Image
He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose dwelling place is an empty and imageless release - the way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Regard this fleeting world like this: Like stars fading and vanishing at dawn, like bubbles on a fast-moving stream, like morning dewdrops evaporating on blades of grass, like a candle flickering in a strong wind... echoes, mirages, and phantoms, hallucinations, and like a dream.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Remember, the greatest gift to give people your enlightenment, to share it. It has to be the greatest.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When I was a young man, near the beginning of my life, I looked around with true mindfulness and saw that all things are subject to decay.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are these two kinds of gifts: a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The recollected go forth to lives of renunciation. They take no pleasure in a fixed abode. Like wild swans abandoning a pool, they leave one resting place after another.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss. Insignificant, is the increase of relatives, wealth and fame The increase of wisdom is the highest gain. Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: We will grow in the increase of wisdom Thus you should train yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Not even death can wipe out our good deeds
Gautama Buddha
Image
Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?
Gautama Buddha
