Buddha Quotes and Sayings

• 
  How easy it is to see your brother's faults,
  How hard it is to face your own.
   
• While a man desires a woman,
  His mind is bound
  As closely as a calf to its mother.
  As you would pluck an autumn lily,
  Pluck the arrow of desire.
  For he who is awake
  Has shown you the way of peace.
  Give yourself to the journey.
   
• There is pleasure
  And there is bliss.
  Forgo the first to possess the second.
  
   
• Live joyfully,
  Without desire.
   
• One man denies the truth.
  Another denies his own actions.
  Both go into the dark.
  And in the next world suffer
  For they offend truth.
   
• If desires are not uprooted,
  Sorrows grow again in you.
   
• The wise man delights in the truth
  And follows the law of the awakened.
  The farmer channels water to his land.
  The fletcher whittles his arrows.
  And the carpenter turns his wood.
  So the wise man directs his mind.
   
• Master your senses,
  What you taste and smell,
  What you see, what you hear.
  In all things be a master.
  Of what you do and say and think.
  Be free.
