Quote

Household life is crowded and dusty life gone forth is wide open... Suppose I shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robe, and go forth from the home life into homelessness.

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
Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.
Gautama Buddha
Image
As you travel though life, offer good wishes to each being you meet.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If you are tossed about by doubts, full of strong thoughtless passions, and yearning only for that which is detrimental, your thirst will grow stronger and stronger, unquenched, and your pain will grow with your defilements.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the Truth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When you come upon a path that brings benefit and happiness to all, follow this course as the moon journeys through the stars.
Gautama Buddha
Image
It is better to spend one day contemplating the birth and death of all things than a hundred years never contemplating beginnings and endings.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The hunger of passions is the greatest disease.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Karma grows from our hearts. Karma terminates from our hearts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The four catagories of existance, non-existance, both existance and non-existance, and neither existance nor non-existance, are spiderwebs among spiderwebs which can never take hold of the enormous bird of reality
Gautama Buddha
Image
To master the pride of defiant selfhood, that in truth is the highest bliss.
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
Let him the intelligent man admonish, let him teach, let him forbid what is improper ! - he will be beloved of the good, by the bad he will be hated.
Gautama Buddha
Image
When phenomena are individually analyzed as selfless, and what has been analyzed is meditated upon, that is the cause for attaining the fruit, nirvana. One does not go to peace through any other cause
Gautama Buddha
Image
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
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
Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.
Gautama Buddha
