Don’t run after pleasure and neglect the practice of meditation. If you forget the goal of life and get caught in the pleasures of the world, you will come to envy those who put meditation first.

Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well-spoken words: this is good luck.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

They blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

He who can curb his wrath as soon as it arises, as a timely antidote will check snake’s venom that so quickly spreads — such a monk gives up the here and the beyond, just as a serpent sheds its worn-out skin.

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

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.

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

Conquer anger through gentleness, unkindness through kindness, greed through generosity, and falsehood by truth.

#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

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again. But if he is peaceful, loving, and fearless, then he is in truth called wise.

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

Understanding is the heartwood of well-spoken words.

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

Offend in neither word nor deed. Eat with moderation. Live in your heart. Seek the highest consciousness. Master yourself according to the law. This is the simple teaching of the awakened.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

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

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.

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

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

#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 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

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

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

They blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.
