The virtuous man delights in this world and he delights in the next

Make an island of yourself, make yourself your refuge; there is no other refuge. Make truth your island, make truth your refuge; there is no other refuge.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Which do you think is more my...

Which do you think is more my friend, the water in the four great oceans or the tears that you have shed on this long way of taking birth again and again?

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

I have passed in ignorance th...

I have passed in ignorance through a cycle of many rebirths, seeking the builder of the house. Continuous rebirth is a painful thing. But now, housebuilder, I have found you out. You will not build me a house again. All your rafters are broken, your ridge-pole shattered. My mind is free from active thought, and has made an end of craving.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

There is no satisfying the se...

There is no satisfying the senses, not even with a shower of money. "The senses are of slight pleasure and really suffering." When a wise man has realised this, he takes no pleasure, as a disciple of the Buddhas, even in the pleasures of heaven. Instead he takes pleasure in the elimination of craving.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Just as the great ocean has o...

Just as the great ocean has one taste, the taste of salt, so also this teaching and discipline has one taste, the taste of liberation.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Who ever lives looking for pl...

Who ever lives looking for pleasure only, his senses uncontrolled, immoderate in his enjoyments, idle and weak, the tempter will certainly overcome him, as the wind blows down a weak tree.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

I reached in experience the n...

I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

All that we are is the result...

All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts; it is made up of our thoughts. A man's life is the direct result of his thoughts... We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

His success may be great, but...

His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Attachment leads to suffering...

Attachment leads to suffering.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

To keep the body in good heal...

To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Foolish, ignorant people indu...

Foolish, ignorant people indulge in careless lives, whereas a clever man guards his attention as his most precious possession.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

An unreflective mind is a poo...

An unreflective mind is a poor roof. Passion, like the rain, floods the house. But if the roof is strong, there is shelter. Whoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this world and the next. In both worlds he suffers And how greatly.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Your greatest weapon is your enemy's mind

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Embrace nothing: If you meet ...

Embrace nothing: If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If you meet your father, kill your father. Only live your life as it is, Not bound to anything.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Confusion conditions activity...

Confusion conditions activity, which conditions consciousness, which conditions embodied personality, which conditions sensory experiences, which conditions impact, which conditions mood, which conditions craving, which conditions clinging, which conditions becoming, which conditions birth, which conditions aging and death.

Mindfulness of the body leads to nirvana.
