Buddha Quotes
- Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred; it will be
stilled only by non-hatred -- this is the law of eternal.
- Let go of anger. Let go of pride. When you are bound by nothing
You go beyond sorrow.
- An unreflecting mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain,
floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter.
Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next.
In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.
- The Buddhas do but tell the way; it is for you to swelter at the
task.
- Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and
the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never
decreases by being shared.
- Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent
of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
- 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.
- Few cross over the river. Most are stranded on this side. On the
riverbank they run up and down. But the wise man, following the way,
Crosses over, beyond the reach of death. He leaves the dark way
For the way of light.
- Death is not to be feared so much by one who has lived wisely.
- Those who are pure in heart and single in purpose are able
to understand the most supreme Way. It is like polishing a mirror,
which becomes bright when the dust is removed. Remove your passions,
and have no hankering.
- If a man who has committed many a misdemeanor does not repent and cleanse his heart of the evil, retribution will come upon his person as sure as the streams run into the ocean which becomes ever deeper and wider. If a man who has committed a misdemeanor come to the knowledge of it, reform himself, and practise goodness, the force of retribution will gradually exhaust itself as a disease gradually loses its baneful influence when the patient perspires.
