Quote

There are those who discover they can leave behind destructive reactions and become patient as the earth, unmoved by fires of anger or fear, unshaken as a pillar, unperturbed as a clear and quiet pool.

The grudge you hold on to is like a hot coal that you intend to throw at someone, only you're the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If by leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure, and look to the great.

Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
Image
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The number of those endowed with human life is as small as the amount of earth one can place on a fingernail. Life as a human being is hard to sustain--as hard as it is for the dew to remain on the grass. But it is better to live a single day with honor than to live to 120 and die in disgrace.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss. Insignificant, is the increase of relatives, wealth and fame The increase of wisdom is the highest gain. Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: We will grow in the increase of wisdom Thus you should train yourselves.
Gautama Buddha

Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Let a man overcome anger by love.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel. Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is no fire like passion: there is no evil and hatred.
Gautama Buddha
Image
But when one masters this wretched desire, which is so hard to overcome, then one's sorrows just drop off, like a drop of water off a lotus.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Happiness follows sorrow, sorrow follows happiness, but when one no longer discriminates happiness and sorrow, a good deal and a bad deed, one is able to realize freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.
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
Whatsoever misfortunes there are Here in this world or in the next, They all have their root in Ignorance And in the accumulation of Longing and Desire.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool says, These are my sons, this is my land, this is my money. In reality, the fool does not own himself, much less sons, land, or money.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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.
