As a Buddhist, I was trained to be tolerant of everything except intolerance
U Thant
Image
I will purify my bodily actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my verbal actions through repeated reflection. I will purify my mental actions through repeated reflection. That's how you should train yourself.
Gautama Buddha
Image
I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
Uma Thurman
Image
At least half of your mind is always thinking, I'll be leaving this won't last. It's a good Buddhist attitude. If I were a Buddhist, this would be a great help. As it is, I'm just sad.
Anne Carson
Image
I am a proud Christian who has been greatly tutored by Hindus and Buddhists and Sufis and others, and I stand and I speak from that place.
Van Jones
Image
By defilement of mind, beings are defiled by purification of mind, beings are purified.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and perhaps as many suicides as despair.
Gautama Buddha
Image
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.
Jack Kornfield
Image
Are you still carrying everyone who's insulted you, injured you or interfered with you? That's a lot of weight. I'd let it go, personally, and just move on and forget. Be in the moment. Don't even notice.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Live happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.
Gautama Buddha
Image
My idea for a Buddhist video game: No guns. Self-immolate instead. Get reincarnated. Repeat until you find Nirvana. Takes forever to play.
Dan Spencer
Image
One torch can dissipate the accumulated darkness of a thousand aeons.
Tilopa
Image
In criticizing, the teacher is hoping to teach. That's all.
Bankei Yotaku
Image
Buddhism regards all living creatures as being endowed with the Buddha nature and the potential to become Buddhas. That's why Buddhism teaches us to refrain from killing and to liberate creatures instead.
Hsuan Hua
Image
I was always searching. I became a Buddhist in my twenties when I came to Los Angeles. I met a group of people who I really loved.
Alley Mills
Image
As a Buddhist, I was trained to be tolerant of everything except intolerance. I was brought up not only to develop the spirit of tolerance but also to cherish moral and spiritual qualities such as modesty, humility, compassion, and, most important, to attain a certain degree of emotional equilibrium.
U Thant
Image
We humans have lost the wisdom of genuinely resting and relaxing. We worry too much. We don't allow our bodies to heal, and we don't allow our minds and hearts to heal.
Nhat Hanh
Image
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
Wayne Dyer
Image
My beliefs are that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then it becomes a lie. I don't think that Jesus was teaching Christianity, Jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. What I tell people is don't be Christian, be Christ-like. Don't be Buddhist, be Buddha-like.
Wayne Dyer
Image
After a few years of meditation practice we can even learn how to occasionally ignore ourselves. And what relief that can be!
Wes Nisker
Image
How does one practice mindfulness? Sit in meditation. Be aware of only your breath.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Emotional control is essential for attaining higher levels of mind. The thing that the teacher looks for in a student is the degree of self-control, not coldness that someone has.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.
Nhat Hanh
