Quote

The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.

When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
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
I know what I gave them I don't know what they received.
Gautama Buddha
Image
People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha
Image
So too, monks, I saw the ancient path, the ancient road traveled by the Perfectly Enlightened Ones of the past. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
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
It is because I perceive the danger in the practice of mystic wonders, that I loath, abhor, and am ashamed thereof.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Please, try to eat a bit less meat, a bit more veggies from today. Let it become a habit gradually until not to eat meat anymore. Then, observe the changing of the body and spirit after eating veggies, fruits and grains.
Gautama Buddha
Image
With his mind free from the inflow of thoughts and from restlessness, by abandoning both good and evil, an alert man knows no fear.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Give thanks for what had been given to you, However little. Be pure, never falter.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To support mother and father, to cherish wife and children, and to be engaged in peaceful occupation - this is the greatest blessing.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not judge yourself harshly. Without mercy for ourselves we cannot love the world.
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
No matter what path you choose, really walk it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Thoughtfulness is the way to deathlessness, thoughtlessness the way to death. The thoughtful do not die: the thoughtless are as if dead already.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a mountain is unshaken by the wind, so the heart of a wise person is unmoved by all the changes on this earth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I, ever knowing the living beings Who tread the Path and those who do not In response to those who may be saved Preach to them a variety of dharmas, Each time having this thought: 'How may I cause the beings To contrive to enter the Unexcelled Path and quickly to perfect the Buddha-body?'
Gautama Buddha
Image
If people become accustomed to lying, they will unconsciously commit every possible wrong deed. Before they can act wickedly, they must lie and once they begin to lie they will act wickedly without concern.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.
Gautama Buddha
