The good shine from afar Like the snowy Himalayas. The bad don't appear Even when near, Like arrows shot into the night.

More quotes by Gautama Buddha
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
A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit.
Gautama Buddha
Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
Gautama Buddha
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Better than chanting a thousand words in a dead language is one soothing word spoken in the vernacular.
Gautama Buddha
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Gautama Buddha
Like a lovely flower full of color but lacking in fragrance, are the words of those who do not practice what they teach.
Gautama Buddha
You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
Gautama Buddha
Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Nothing ever exists entirely alone everything is in relation to everythiong else.
Gautama Buddha
By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.
Gautama Buddha
The glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old but the virtue of the good never grows old.
Gautama Buddha
I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.
Gautama Buddha
At the bottom of things, most people want to be understood and appreciated.
Gautama Buddha
To master the pride of defiant selfhood, that in truth is the highest bliss.
Gautama Buddha
One moment, ten thousand years. Ten thousand years, one moment.
Gautama Buddha
Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.
Gautama Buddha
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
