Buddha Quotes and Sayings

•

  Commit adultery or drink,
  You dig up your own roots.
  And if you cannot master yourself,
  The harm you do turns against you Grievously.

  In goodness and restraint,
  Non-violence, moderation and purity.

  Of all purity and impurity.
  
   
• Seeker!
  Do not be restless.
  Meditate constantly.
   
• If he is a good man,
  A man of faith, honoured and prosperous,
  Wherever he goes he is welcome.
  Like the Himalayas
  Good men shine from afar.
  But bad men move unseen
  Like arrows in the night.
   
• If the traveller can find
  A virtuous and wise companion
  Let him go with him joyfully
  And overcome the dangers of the way.
   
• But if you cannot find
  Friend or master to go with you,
  Travel on alone -
  Like a king who has given away his kingdom,
  Like an elephant in the forest.
  Travel on alone
   
• Thirty-six streams are rushing toward you!
  Desire and pleasure and lust...
  Play in your imagination with them
  And they will sweep you away.
