More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.
Gautama Buddha
Do not believe anything on the mere authority of teachers or priests. Accept as true and as the guide to your life only that which accords with your own reason and experience, after thorough investigation. Accept only that which contributes to the well-being of yourself and others.
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
You must use the hook of precepts to quickly remove it.
Gautama Buddha
Life is uncertain death is certain.
Gautama Buddha
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.
Gautama Buddha
Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.
Gautama Buddha
When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.
Gautama Buddha
It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.
Gautama Buddha
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.
Gautama Buddha
It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha
A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Gautama Buddha
Forgive and be free. Forget that you have forgiven and be freer.
Gautama Buddha
No matter what path you choose, really walk it.
Gautama Buddha
Watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings.
Gautama Buddha
Whenever and wherever one encounters the arising and passing away of the mental-physical structure, one enjoys bliss and delight, which lead on to the deathless stage experienced by the wise
Gautama Buddha
When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.
Gautama Buddha
A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
Gautama Buddha
Apply yourself to solitude. One who is given to solitude knows things as they really are.
Gautama Buddha
