He who, calm and clear as the moon, hankers no more for continuity-he is holy.
Gautama Buddha

O men! you can take life easily but, remember, none of you can give life! So, have mercy, have compassion! And, never forget, that compassion makes the world noble and beautiful.

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.
Gautama Buddha

Let no person think lightly of good, saying in his or her heart, it will not benefit me. As by the falling of raindrops a jar of water is filled, so the wise person becomes full of good, even though he or she collects it little by little.

Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]
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
Winning gives birth to hostility Losing, one lies down in pain. The calmed lie down with ease, having set winning and losing aside.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Learn this from the waters: in mountain clefts and chasms, loud gush the streamlets, but great rivers flow silently.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The mind contains all possibilities.
Gautama Buddha

Just as a picture is drawn by an artist, surroundings are created by the activities of the mind

Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others
Gautama Buddha

One of his students asked Buddha, Are you the Messiah? No, answered Buddha. Then are you a healer? No, Buddha replied. Then are you a teacher? the student persisted. No, I am not a teacher. Then what are you? asked the student exasperated. I am awake, Buddha replied.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Insignificant, is the loss of relatives, wealth and fame The loss of wisdom is the greatest loss. Insignificant, is the increase of relatives, wealth and fame The increase of wisdom is the highest gain. Therefore, you should train yourselves thus: We will grow in the increase of wisdom Thus you should train yourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
The recollected go forth to lives of renunciation. They take no pleasure in a fixed abode. Like wild swans abandoning a pool, they leave one resting place after another.
Gautama Buddha
