Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will for seven days appear to you in their benign and peaceful aspect. Their light will shine upon you, ... Wonderful and delightful though they are, The Buddhas may nevertheless frighten you. Do not give in to your fright! Do not run away! Serenely contemplate the spectacle before you! Overcome your fear, and feel no desire! Realize that these are the rays of the grace of the Buddhas, who come to receive you into their Buddha-realms. Pray to them with intense faith and humility.

The fool who recognizes his foolishness, is a wise man. But the fool who believes himself a wise man, he really is a fool.

Of what I know, I have told you only a little. Why have I not told you the rest? Because it would not lead you to Nirvana.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

One is not a great one because one defeats or harms other living beings. One is so called because one refrains from defeating or harming other living beings.

When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

That which goeth up must need...

That which goeth up must needs come down; and that which is down must needs go up. But Brahma has ordained that the that that goeth up is seldom the same as the that that hath gone down.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.

Wisdom makes light the darkness of ignorance.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Don't believe a teaching just...

Don't believe a teaching just because you've heard it from a man who's supposed to be holy, or because it's contained in a book supposed to be holy, or because all your friends and neighbors believe it. But whatever you've observed and analyzed for yourself and found to be reasonable and good, then accept that and put it into practice.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Mind precedes all phenomena, ...

Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind, you speak or act, then suffering follows you as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draft animal. If with a pure mind, you speak or act, then happiness follows you as a shadow that never departs

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

If with an impure mind a pers...

If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Establish your mind as necess...

Establish your mind as necessary for knowledge and remembrance. Establish a mind free of grasping to anything.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Seeking but not finding the house builder I travelled through life after life. How painful is repeated birth! House-builders, you have now been seen. You will not build the house again.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like) ; fletchers bend the arrow ; carpenters bend a log of wood ; wise people fashion themselves.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

For all mortals, birth is suffering, ageing is suffering, sickness is suffering.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

May all beings everywhere pla...

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free. May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending each other. May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness- the children, the aged, the unprotected- be guarded by beneficent celestials, and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

Gautama Buddha 1201 quotes

If there is only empty space,...

If there is only empty space, with no suns nor planets in it, then space loses its substantiality.
