Image
Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
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
Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions
Gautama Buddha
Image
An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Flower and thorn are in the same stem.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wherever there is possession of marks, there is fraud wherever there is no-possession of no-marks, there is no fraud. Hence the Tathagata is to be seen from no-marks as marks.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
War ends only when people love each other.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not think lightly of good, that nothing will come of it. A whole water pot will fill up from dripping drops of water.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.
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
Image
Read as few words as you like, and speak fewer, but act upon the law.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.
Gautama Buddha
