More quotes by Gautama Buddha
When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.
Gautama Buddha
For those who are ready the door to the deathless state is open. If you have ears give up the conditions that bind you and enter in.
Gautama Buddha
The holy man is beyond time, he does not depend on any view nor subscribe to any sect all current theories he understands, but he remains unattached to any of them.
Gautama Buddha
He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up, who is unattached to food, whose dwelling place is an empty and imageless release - the way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of birds through the sky.
Gautama Buddha
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
It is within this fathoms-long carcass, with its mind and its notions, that I declare there is the world, the origin of the world, the cessation of the world and the path leading to the cessation of the world.
Gautama Buddha
Before you've seen it, and when you first see it, it is the greatest thing afterwards, it is ordinary.
Gautama Buddha
The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions
Gautama Buddha
Attention leads to immortality. Carelessness leads to death. Those who pay attention will not die, while the careless are as good as dead already.
Gautama Buddha
To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.
Gautama Buddha
Those who consider the inessential to be essential And see the essential as inessential Don't reach the essential, Living in the field of wrong intention
Gautama Buddha
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
The good shine from afar Like the snowy Himalayas. The bad don't appear Even when near, Like arrows shot into the night.
Gautama Buddha
Hatreds never cease by hatreds in this world. By love alone they cease. This is an ancient Law.
Gautama Buddha
If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Gautama Buddha
The secret of health for both mind and body is...live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Gautama Buddha
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
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
Speak only the speech that neither torments self nor does harm to others. That speech is truly well spoken.
Gautama Buddha
Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense.
Gautama Buddha
