Shakyamuni Buddha Sayings and Quotes

  1. In this world Hate
    never yet dispelled hate.
    Only love dispels hate.
    This is the law,
    Ancient and inexhaustible.
     
  2. Look not for recognition
    But follow the awakened
    And set yourself free.
     
  3. Let go of anger.
    Let go of pride.
    When you are bound by nothing
    You go beyond sorrow.
     
  4. Beware of the anger of the mouth.
    Master your words.
    Let them serve truth.
     
  5. Do what you have to do
    Resolutely, with all your heart.
    The traveller who hesitates
    Only raises dust on the road.
     
  6. The wise man tells you
    Where you have fallen
    And where you yet may fall - Invaluable secrets!
    Follow him, follow the way.
     
  7. If the traveller can find
    A virtuous and wise companion
    Let him go with him joyfully
    And overcome the dangers of the way.
     
  8. You are reckless, and desire grows.
    But the master is wakeful.
    He watches his body.
    In all his actions he discriminates,
    And he becomes pure.
    He is without blame.
