More quotes by Gautama Buddha
Do not disregard the accumulation of goodness, saying, 'This will come to nothing.' By the gradual falling of raindrops, a jar is filled.
Gautama Buddha
Only within our body, with its heart and mind, can bondage and suffering be found, and only here can we find true liberation.
Gautama Buddha
She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.
Gautama Buddha
He who harms living beings is, for that reason, not an ariya (a Noble One) he who does not harm any living being is called an ariya.
Gautama Buddha
Cut out the love of self, like an autumn lotus with thy hand!
Gautama Buddha
Buddha is in our hearts. Buddha is in our mouths. Buddha is in our daily lives.
Gautama Buddha
All composite things decay. Strive diligently.
Gautama Buddha
There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.
Gautama Buddha
Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your faith
Gautama Buddha
The gift of the Truth beats all other gifts. The flavour of the Truth beats all other tastes. The joy of the Truth beats all other joys, and the cessation of desire conquers all suffering
Gautama Buddha
The ignorant man is an ox. He grows in size, not in wisdom.
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
The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.
Gautama Buddha
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
Gautama Buddha
Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger
Gautama Buddha
Do not accept anything simply because it has been said by your teacher, or because it has been written in your sacred books, or because it has been believed by many, or because it has been handed down by your ancestors. Accept and live only according to what will enable you to see truth face to face.
Gautama Buddha
Mutual respect and mutual listening are the foundations of harmony within the family.
Gautama Buddha
Just as the dawn is the forerunner of the arising of the sun, so true friendship is the forerunner of the arising of the noble eightfold path.
Gautama Buddha
From eating meat arrogance is born, from arrogance erroneous imaginations issue, and from imagination is born greed and for this reason refrain from eating meat.
Gautama Buddha
O seeker! Rely on nothing until you want nothing.
Gautama Buddha
