Be a lamp to yourself. Be your own confidence. Hold on to the truth within yourself as to the only truth.
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

It is your mind that creates the world.
Gautama Buddha

I knew that most people never see this reality because they attach to the material aspect of the world. Illusions of self and other fill their vision. I also realized there are those with little dust limiting their vision.
Gautama Buddha

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.

I call wise man who, while he is innocent , endures insults and blows with a patience equal to its strength.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When one drives away the negligent through vigilance, he climbs the heights of wisdom, and can see the suffering masses. Serene, you look upon the lost like one that stands on a mountain sees those that stand upon the plain.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool thinks he has won a battle when he bullies with harsh speech, but knowing how to be forbearing alone makes one victorious.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
