Image
An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a bee without harming the flower, its colour or scent, flies away, collecting only the honey, even so should the sage wander in the village.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The fool who thinks he is wise is just a fool. The fool who knows he is a fool is wise indeed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a water bead on a lotus leaf, as water on a red lily, does not adhere, so the sage does not adhere to the seen, the heard, or the sensed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realising this a monk should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Anyone who is not working toward the truth is missing the whole point of living.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Regard this fleeting world like this: Like stars fading and vanishing at dawn, like bubbles on a fast-moving stream, like morning dewdrops evaporating on blades of grass, like a candle flickering in a strong wind... echoes, mirages, and phantoms, hallucinations, and like a dream.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who practices it not.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Though he should conquer a thousand men in the battlefield a thousand times, yet he, indeed, who would conquer himself is the noblest victor.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is our minds that create this world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless. Awake to the law. And from all sorrows free yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A fool who recognises his own ignorance is thereby in fact a wise man, but a fool who considers himself wise - that is what one really calls a fool.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity so the wise man knows no hatred.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions
Gautama Buddha
Image
Rid of craving and without clinging, an expert in the study of texts, and understanding the right sequence of the words, he may indeed be called In his last body, Great in wisdom and a Great man.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not blindly believe what others say. See for yourself what brings contentment, clarity and peace. That is the path for you to follow.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The eating of meat extinguishes the seed of Great Kindness.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A person is not learned nor wise because he talks much the person who is patient, free from hatred and fear, that person is called learned and wise.
Gautama Buddha
