Buddha's words - 2



Attachment is the source of all suffering.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Decay is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence. - Buddha's last words.

'He insulted me, he cheated me, he beat me, he robbed me.' Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.

He who never thinks of anything as mine' does not feel the lack of anything: he is never worried by a sense of loss.

I gained nothing at all from Supreme Enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called Supreme Enlightenment.

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.

Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.

Look within, you are the Buddha.

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

On a long journey of human life, faith is the best of companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey; and it is the greatest property.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

The man who foolishly does me wrong, I will return to him the protection of my most ungrudging love; and the more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me.
