More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight - for a heedful person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease.
Gautama Buddha
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

Gautama Buddha
How does one stay mindful? Where feelings are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Thoughts are known as they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. Perceptions are known they arise, known as they persist, known as they pass away. This is how a monk stays awake.
Gautama Buddha

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

As an irrigator guides water to his fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.
Gautama Buddha
Live every act fully, as if it were your last.
Gautama Buddha
They are not following dharma who resort to violence to achieve their purpose. But those who lead others through nonviolent means, knowing right and wrong, may be called guardians of the dharma. Those who really seek the path to Enlightenment dictate terms to their mind. Then they proceed with strong determination.
Gautama Buddha
Flower and thorn are in the same stem.
Gautama Buddha
Through vigilance, restraint and control the wise will construct and island that no flood will overcome.
