Buddha Quotes
- From the passions arise worry, and from worry arises fear. Away
with the passions, and no fear, no worry.
- 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.
- If you endeavor to embrace the Way through much learning, the
Way will not be understood. If you observe the Way with simplicity
of heart, great indeed is this Way
- One should strive to understand what underlies sufferings and
diseases - and aim for health and wellbeing while gaining in the
Path.
- Men are tied up to their families and possessions more helplessly than in a prison. There is an occasion for the prisoner to be released, but householders entertain no desire to be relieved from the ties of family. When a man's passion is aroused nothing prevents him from ruining himself. Even into the jaws of a tiger will he jump. Those who are thus drowned in the filth of passion are called the ignorant. Those who are able to overcome it are saintly Arhats.
