Buddha Quotes and Sayings

  • You are far from the end of your journey.
    The way is not in the sky.
    The way is in the heart.
    See how you love
     
  • If you are happy
    At the expense of another man's happiness,
    You are forever bound.
     
  • You are a seeker.
    Delight in the mastery
    Of your hands and your feet,
    Of your words and your thoughts.
    Delight in meditation
    And in solitude.

     
  • Master your words.
    Master your thoughts.
    Never allow your body to do harm.
    Follow these three roads with purity
    And you will find yourself upon the one way,
    The way of wisdom.
     
  • Do what you have to do
    Resolutely, with all your heart.
    The traveller who hesitates
    Only raises dust on the road.
     
  • To share happiness.
    And to have done something good
    Before leaving this life is sweet
     
  • If you are filled with desire
    Your sorrows swell
    Like the grass after the rain.
    But if you subdue desire
    Your sorrows shall fall from you
    Like drops of water from a lotus flower.
     
  • It is not iron that imprisons you
    Nor rope nor wood,
    But the pleasure you take in gold and jewels,
    In sons and wives.
    Soft fetters,
    Yet they hold you down.
    Can you snap them?
