More quotes by Gautama Buddha
This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world: Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream. So is all conditioned existence to be seen.
Gautama Buddha
Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama Buddha
Be your own lamps. Be your own shelters. Hang on to the truth as a lamp. Hang on to the truth as a refuge.
Gautama Buddha
As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama Buddha
True love is born from understanding.
Gautama Buddha
Of all footprints, that of the elephant is supreme. Similarly, of all mindfulness meditations, that on death is supreme.
Gautama Buddha
Because not even the least Dharma is there found or got at. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlightenment'. Self-identical is that Dharma and nothing is therein at variance. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlighten'
Gautama Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought what we think we become.
Gautama Buddha
It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.
Gautama Buddha
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
If a person does not harm any living being...and does not kill or cause others to kill - that person is a true spiritual practitioner
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
Joy comes not through possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart.
Gautama Buddha
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
Want what you have and you will always get what you want.
Gautama Buddha
You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.
Gautama Buddha
Live every act fully, as if it were your last.
Gautama Buddha
Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day's life of one who is wise and meditative.
Gautama Buddha
The fool is his own enemy. Seeking wealth, he destroys himself. Seek rather the other shore.
Gautama Buddha
Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.
Gautama Buddha
