More quotes by Gautama Buddha

Image
As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in this world is connected by a series of ties. If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibility in relation to other meshes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so I, born in the world, raised in the world having overcome the world, live unsoiled by the world
Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as a tree, though cut down, can grow again and again if its roots are undamaged and strong, in the same way if the roots of craving are not wholly uprooted sorrows will come again and again
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your actions are your only true belongings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You must use the hook of precepts to quickly remove it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You only lose that which you cling to.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Craving brings pain craving brings fear. If you do not yield to craving, you will be free from pain and fear
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.
Gautama Buddha
Image
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated - this is the greatest blessing.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let none find fault with others let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one's own acts, done and undone.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let the disciple cultivate love without measure towards all beings. Let him cultivate towards the whole world, above, below, around, a heart of love unstinted....For in all the world this state of heart is best.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I know what I gave them I don't know what they received.
Gautama Buddha
