Buddha Quotations
- Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps As if he were
already dead, But the master is awake And he lives forever.
- Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to
the one who endures that the final victory comes.
- Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases
through love. This is an unalterable law.
- The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for
the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate
troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
- You cannot travel on the path until you become the path itself.
- Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to
perceive, extremely subtle, and wander at will. Thought which is
well guarded is the bearer of happiness.
- The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.
- It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by
angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
- A great gift - a gift of Dharma conquers all gifts.
- When an evil-doer, seeing you practise goodness, comes and
maliciously insults you, you should patiently endure it and not feel
angry with him, for the evil-doer is insulting himself by trying to
insult you.
- Evil-doers who denounce the wise resemble a person who spits
against the sky; the spittle will never reach the sky, but comes
down on himself. Evil-doers again resemble a man who stirs the dust
against the wind; the dust is never raised without doing him injury.
Thus, the wise will never be hurt, but the curse is sure to destroy
the evil-doers themselves.
- Moved by their selfish desires, people seek after fame and glory. But when they have acquired it, they are already stricken in years. If you hanker after worldly fame and practise not the Way, your labors are wrongfully applied and your energy is wasted. It is like unto burning an incense stick. However much its pleasing odor be admired, the fire that consumes is steadily burning up the stick.
