As I am, so are these. As are these, so am I. Drawing the parallel to yourself, neither kill nor get others to kill.

The root of suffering is attachment.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

In whom there is no sympathy for living beings: know him as an outcast.

Health is the best gift, contentment the best wealth, trust the best kinsman, nirvana the greatest joy. Drink the nectar of the dharma in the depths of meditation, and become free from fear and sin.

Our life is shaped by our mind. We become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

He who sits alone, sleeps alone, and walks alone, who is strenuous and subdues himself alone, will find delight in the solitude of the forest.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.

Let all-embracing thoughts for all beings be yours.

Not by rituals and resolutions, nor by much learning, nor by celibacy, nor even by meditation can you find the supreme, immortal joy of nirvana until you extinguish your self-will.

Health is the best gift, contentment the best wealth, trust the best kinsman, nirvana the greatest joy. Drink the nectar of the dharma in the depths of meditation, and become free from fear and sin.

When watching after yourself, you watch after others. When watching after others, you watch after yourself.

The way to happiness is: keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, give much. Fill your life with love. Do as you would be done by.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand men on the battlefield. Be victorious over yourself and not over others.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

The one in whom no longer exist the craving and thirst that perpetuate becoming; how could you track that Awakened one, trackless, and of limitless range.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

It seems that although we thought ourselves permanent, we are not. Although we thought ourselves settled, we are not. Although we thought we would last forever, we will not.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is Awakened.

#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy

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.
