More quotes by Gautama Buddha
I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Gautama Buddha
Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication.
Gautama Buddha
This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
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
Few are those among men who have crossed over to the other shore, while the rest of mankind runs along the bank. However those who follow the principles of the well-taught Truth will cross over to the other shore, out of the dominion of Death, hard though it is to escape.
Gautama Buddha
If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity of heart, great indeed is this Way.
Gautama Buddha
Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.
Gautama Buddha
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
Man's troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.
Gautama Buddha
Whoever has done harmful actions but later covers them up with good is like the moon which, freed from clouds, lights up the world.
Gautama Buddha
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.
Gautama Buddha
Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
Gautama Buddha
By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.
Gautama Buddha
No one can escape death and unhappiness. If people expect only happiness in life, they will be disappointed.
Gautama Buddha
Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.
Gautama Buddha
All composite things decay. Strive diligently.
Gautama Buddha
Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done observe what you yourself have done or not done.
Gautama Buddha
As I am, so are others as others are, so am I. Having thus identified self and others, harm no one nor have them harmed.
Gautama Buddha
For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.
Gautama Buddha
A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.
Gautama Buddha
