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

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

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

Faith and prayer both are invisible, but they make impossible things possible.

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

‘All conditioned things are impermanent’ — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.

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

Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever’s not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.

#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.

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

It is better to do nothing, than to do what is wrong. For whatever you do, you do to yourself.

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

Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.

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

Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone.

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

The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.

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

Nothing remains without change.

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

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox.

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

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.

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

Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.

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

One is not called noble who harms living beings. By not harming living beings one is called noble.

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

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draw it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follow a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

#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

Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
