Buddha Quotes
- The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear
what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you
reject all help are you freed.
- It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from
the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is
foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and
leave the inner mind uncontrolled.
- To abstain from lying is essentially wholesome.
- How can a troubled mind Understand the way? If a man is
disturbed
He will never be filled with knowledge. An untroubled mind, No
longer seeking to consider What is right and what is wrong, A mind
beyond judgements, Watches and understands. Know that the body is a
fragile jar, And make a castle of your mind. In every trial Let
understanding fight for you To defend what you have won.
For soon the body is discarded, Then what does it feel? A useless log of wood, it lies on the ground, Then what does it know? Your worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, unguarded. But once mastered, No one can help you as much, Not even your father or your mother.
- On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a
shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the
protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy
him.
- Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance.
Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose
the path that leads to wisdom.
- Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.
- One should strive to understand what underlies sufferings and diseases - and aim for health and wellbeing while gaining in the Path.
