Water surrounds the lotus flower, but does not wet its petals.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Just as a mother would protec...

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world. One should cultivate an unbounded mind, above and below and across, without obstruction, without enmity, without rivalry. Standing, or going, or seated, or lying down, as long as one is free from drowsiness, one should practice this mindfulness. This, they say, is the holy state here.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Do not carry with you your mistakes. Do not carry your cares. Travel on alone. Like an elephant in the forest.

The Four Reliances. First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words; Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher; Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation; And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Therefore, be ye lamps unto yourselves, be ye a refuge to yourselves. Hold fast to the truth as a lamp; hold fast as a refuge to the truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

By defilement of mind, beings are defiled; by purification of mind, beings are purified.

There are, O monks, these four lights. What four? The light of the moon, the light of the sun, the light of fire, and the light of wisdom. Of these four lights, the light of wisdom is supreme.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

If for just the time of a fin...

If for just the time of a finger-snap a monk produces a thought of loving-kindness, develops it, gives attention to it, such a one is rightly called a monk. Not in vain does he meditate. He acts in accordance with the master's teaching, he follows his advice. How much more so if he cultivates it.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

A contemplative should pay equal attention to concentration, energetic effort and equanimity, and not exclusively to one of these factors only.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Thus all things are subject t...

Thus all things are subject to death, sorrow and suffering. I became aware that I too was of the same nature, the nature of beginning and end. What if I searched for that which underlies all creation, that which is nirvana, the perfect freedom from unconditioned existence?

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Be your own lamps. Be your own shelters. Hang on to the truth as a lamp. Hang on to the truth as a refuge.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

This is my child, this is my wealth: such thoughts are the preoccupations of fools. If we are unable to own even ourselves, why make such claims?
