Quote

Whatever grounds there are for making merit productive of a future birth, all these do not equal a sixteenth part of the liberation of mind by loving-kindness. The liberation of mind by loving-kindness surpasses them and shines forth, bright and brilliant.

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

Seeing the Way is like going into a dark room with a torch the darkness instantly departs, while the light alone remains. When the Way is attained and the truth is seen, ignorance vanishes and enlightenment abides forever.

When a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama Buddha

Do not speak harshly to any one those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

Image
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without scent, are wise words when spoken, but fruitless these words are when not carried out by the speaker.

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.

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
The grudge you hold on to is like a hot coal that you intend to throw at someone, only you're the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Look not for refuge to anyone beside yourself. Heed fast to the truth as a lamp.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Stop, stop. Do not speak. The ultimate truth is not even to think.
Gautama Buddha
Image
And he who has considered all the contrasts on this earth, and is no more disturbed by anything whatever in the world, the Peaceful One, freed from rage, from sorrow, and from longing, he has passed beyond birth and decay.
Gautama Buddha
Image
To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.
Gautama Buddha
Image
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
Image
Do not believe anything on the mere authority of teachers or priests. Accept as true and as the guide to your life only that which accords with your own reason and experience, after thorough investigation. Accept only that which contributes to the well-being of yourself and others.
Gautama Buddha
