All that has been hidden is rising, there is no stopping it! These things you cannot hide: the sun, the moon, and TRUTH.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The gift of truth excels all other gifts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When the sleeping snake is gone, then you can rest at ease.
Gautama Buddha

One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.

A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
Gautama Buddha

Let go the past, let go the future, and let go the present (front, back, middle). Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released everywhere, do not further undergo birth and decay.
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
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
Follow the way of virtue. Follow the way joyfully through this world and on beyond.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Holding on to anger is like poisoning yourself and hoping someone else will die.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is within this fathoms-long carcass, with its mind and its notions, that I declare there is the world, the origin of the world, the cessation of the world and the path leading to the cessation of the world.
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
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
You only lose that which you cling to.
Gautama Buddha
