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.

Gautama Buddha
Image
Just as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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

A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.
Gautama Buddha

There is no meditation without wisdom, and there is no wisdom without meditation. When a man has both meditation and wisdom, he is indeed close to nirvana.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small. This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Those who are pure in heart and single in purpose are able to understand the most supreme Way. It is like polishing a mirror, which becomes bright when the dust is removed. Remove your passions, and have no hankering.
Gautama Buddha

Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.
Gautama Buddha

Joyously participate in the sorrows of others.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Free from passion and desire, you have stripped the thorns from the stem.
Gautama Buddha
Image
For soon the body is discarded, Then what does it feel? A useless log of wood, it lies on the ground, Then what does it know? Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rather than continuing to seek the truth, simply let go of your views.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The wind cannot overturn a mountain. Temptation cannot touch the man Who is awake, strong and humble, Who masters hiself and minds the law.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Few cross over the river. Most are stranded on this side. On the riverbank they run up and down. But the wise man, following the way, Crosses over, beyond the reach of death. He leaves the dark way For the way of light.
Gautama Buddha

When you have great joy, you will become Buddhas!
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
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
The mind that perceives the limitation is the limitation.
Gautama Buddha
Image
So too, monks, I saw the ancient path, the ancient road traveled by the Perfectly Enlightened Ones of the past. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.
Gautama Buddha

The man who wears the yellow-dyed robe but is not free from stains himself, without self-restraint and integrity, is unworthy of the robe.
