Buddha Quotes

"The root of suffering is attachment.""Wear your ego like a loose fitting garment.""If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.""It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.""My doctrine is not a doctrine but just a vision. I have not given you any set rules, I have not given you a system.""Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.""I do not dispute with the world; rather it is the world that disputes with me.""It is better to travel well than to arrive.""He who sits alone, sleeps alone, and walks alone, who is strenuous and subdues himself alone, will find delight in the solitude of the forest.""Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.""Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.""Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.""Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.""Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.""Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well-spoken words: this is good luck.""Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.""Should you find a wise critic to point out your faults, follow him as you would a guide to hidden treasure.""Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it.""Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.""Don’t run after pleasure and neglect the practice of meditation. If you forget the goal of life and get caught in the pleasures of the world, you will come to envy those who put meditation first."
