Quotes of Gautam Buddha

  1. Free yourself from attachment.
     
  2. To share happiness.
    And to have done something good
    Before leaving this life is sweet
     
  3. If a man's thoughts are muddy,
    If he is reckless and full of deceit,
    How can he wear the yellow robe?
    Whoever is master of his own nature,
    Bright, clear and true,
    He may indeed wear the yellow robe.
     
  4. How easily the wind overturns a frail tree.
    Seek happiness in the senses, Indulge in food and sleep,
    And you too will be uprooted.
     
  5. The wise have mastered
    Body, word and mind.
     
  6. Beware of the anger of the mind.
    Master your thoughts.
    Let them serve truth.
     
  7. 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.
     
  8. 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.
     
  9. Give thanks
    For what had been given to you,
    However little.
    Be pure, never falter.
    You have no name and no form.
    Why miss what you do not have?
    The seeker is not sorry.
