Gautam Buddha Quotes
- How easy it is to see your brother's faults, How hard it is to
face your own. You winnow his in the wind like chaff, But yours you
hide,
Like a cheat covering up an unlucky throw. Dwelling on your
brother's faults Multiplies your own. You are far from the end of
your journey.
The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. See how you
love.
- If you determine your course With force or speed, You miss the
way of the dharma. Quietly consider What is right and what is wrong.
Receiving all opinions equally, Without haste, wisely, Observe the
dharma.
- Better than a thousand hollow words Is one word that brings
peace.
Better than a thousand hollow verses Is one verse that brings peace.
Better than a hundred hollow lines Is one line of the dharma,
bringing peace. 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.
- Seeker! Do not be restless. Meditate constantly. Or you will
swallow fire And cry out: "No more!" If you are not wise, How can
you steady the mind? If you cannot quieten yourself, What will you
ever learn?
How will you become free? With a quiet mind Come into that empty house, your heart, And feel the joy of the way Beyond the world. Look within - The rising and the falling.
- How long the night to the watchman, How long the road to the
weary traveller, How long the wandering of many lives To the fool
who misses the way.
- Thought-habits can harden into character. So watch your
thoughts.
- Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings
peace.
- If mind is transformed, can wrong-doing remain?
- To the one who endures, the final victory comes.
