Buddha
001
No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again
002
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment
003
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely
004
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another
005
A disciplined mind brings happiness
006
The root of suffering is attachment
007
If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart
008
Do not look for a sanctuary in anyone except your self
009
Wear your ego like a loose fitting garment
010
What you are is what you have been. What you'll be is what you do now
011
If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way
012
Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded
013
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
014
If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind
015
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world
016
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
017
Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes
018
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without
019
You can only lose what you cling to
020
As rain falls equally on the just and the unjust, do not burden your heart with judgments but rain your kindness equally on all
021
As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life
022
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows
023
A man asked Gautama Buddha, I want happiness. Buddha said, First remove I, that's Ego, then remove want, that's Desire. See now, you are left with only Happiness
024
If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete
025
Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it
026
Doubt everything. Find your own light
027
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned
028
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily
029
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell
030
If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another
031
True love is born from understanding
032
There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path
033
Nothing is forever except change
034
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
035
Whoever doesn't flare up at someone who's angry wins a battle hard to win
036
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading
037
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.
038
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering an image of death
039
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting
040
Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth
041
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth
042
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful
043
Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die
044
Whoever doesn't flare up at someone who's angry wins a battle hard to win
