Siddhartha Gautam Buddha Quotes
- There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt
separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and
breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and
hurts; it is a sword that kills.
- Be quick to do good. If you are slow, The mind, delighting in
mischief, Will catch you. Turn away from mischief. Again and again,
turn away. Before sorrow befalls you. Set your heart on doing good.
Do it over and over again, And you will be filled with joy. A fool
is happy Until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may
suffer Until his goodness flowers. Do not make light of your
failings,
Saying, "What are they to me?" A jug fills drop by drop.
- The masters only point the way. But if you meditate And follow
the dharma You will free yourself from desire. "Everything arises
and passes away." When you see this, you are above sorrow.
This is the shining way.
- If a man's thoughts are muddy, If he is reckless and full of
deceit,
How can he wear the yellow robe? Whoever is master of his own
nature, Bright, clear and true, He may indeed wear the yellow robe.
- A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and
rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden
treasure.
- Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are
cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts
of resentment are forgotten.
- We are what we think. All that we are arises With our thoughts.
With our thoughts, We make our world.
- You are as the yellow leaf. The messengers of death are at hand.
You are to travel far away. What will you take with you? You are the
lamp To lighten the way. Then hurry, hurry. When your light shines.
- Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it
with care.
- Conquer a liar with truth.
- People cleave to their worldly possessions and selfish passions so blindly as to sacrifice their own lives for them. They are like a child who tries to eat a little, honey smeared on the edge of a knife. The amount is by no means sufficient to appease his appetite, but he runs the risk of wounding his tongue.
