The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.
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
In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.
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
But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
Gautama Buddha

Wisdom makes light the darkness of ignorance.
Gautama Buddha

The more fully we give our energy, the more it returns to us.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As a net is made up of a series of ties, so everything in this world is connected by a series of ties. If anyone thinks that the mesh of a net is an independent, isolated thing, he is mistaken. It is called a net because it is made up of a series of interconnected meshes, and each mesh has its place and responsibility in relation to other meshes.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Solitude is happiness for one who is content, who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees. Non-affliction is happiness in the world - harmlessness towards all living beings.
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
When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to insult you.
Gautama Buddha
Image
From craving is born grief, from craving is born fear. For one freed from craving there's no grief- so how fear?
Gautama Buddha
Image
Some do not understand that we must die, But those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Let them not do the slightest thing that the wise would later reprove.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The ocean, king of mountains and the mighty continents Are not heavy burdens to bear when compared To the burden of not repaying the world's kindness.
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
I do not fight with the world but the world fights with me.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When you go into the space of nothingness, everything becomes known.
Gautama Buddha
Image
A noble person is mindful and thankful for the favors he receives from others.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.
