Buddha Quotes and Sayings

  1. An untroubled mind,
    No longer seeking to consider
    What is right and what is wrong,
    A mind beyond judgements,
    Watches and understands.
     
  2. By your own efforts
    Waken yourself, watch yourself.
    And live joyfully.
    You are the master.
     
  3. The man who awakes and follows the way.
    They are free from fear.
    They are free.
    They have crossed over the river of sorrow.
     
  4. There is no fire like passion,
    No crime like hatred,
    No sorrow like separation,
    No sickness like hunger,
    And no joy like the joy of freedom.
     
  5. 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.
     
  6. Seeker!
    Do not be restless.
    Meditate constantly.
     
  7. All that we are arises with our thoughts.
    With our thoughts we make the world.
    Speak or act with a pure mind
    And happiness will follow you
    As your shadow, unshakable.
     
  8. Fresh milk takes time to sour.
    So a fool's mischief
    Takes time to catch up with him.
    Like the embers of a fire
    It smoulders within him.
     
  9. If you sleep,
    Desire grows in you
    Like a vine in the forest.
    Like a monkey in the forest
    You jump from tree to tree,
    Never finding the fruit -
    From life to life,
    Never finding peace.
