Gautama Buddha
Image
Pity arises when we are sorry for someone.Compassion is when we understand and help wisely.
Gautama Buddha

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
Image
Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.
Gautama Buddha

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.
Gautama Buddha

People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
Gautama Buddha

The glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old but the virtue of the good never grows old.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Monks, we who look at the whole and not just the part, know that we too are systems of interdependence, of feelings, perceptions, thoughts, and consciousness all interconnected. Investigating in this way, we come to realize that there is no me or mine in any one part, just as a sound does not belong to any one part of the lute.
Gautama Buddha
Image

Gautama Buddha
Image
If we destroy something around us we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourselves.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Cultivation of meditative stability alone, will not destroy the discrimination of inherent existence. Afflictive emotions can return, making all sorts of disturbances
Gautama Buddha
Image
If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
Gautama Buddha
Image
One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There are two obstacles to enlightenment: 1. Thinking you know. 2 Thinking you don't know.

The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.
