Gautama Buddha

Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind, you speak or act, then suffering follows you as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draft animal. If with a pure mind, you speak or act, then happiness follows you as a shadow that never departs

Whenever and wherever one encounters the arising and passing away of the mental-physical structure, one enjoys bliss and delight, which lead on to the deathless stage experienced by the wise

Never in the world does hatred cease by hatred; hatred ceases by love.

As from a large heap of flowers many garlands and wreaths are made, so by a mortal in this life there is much good work to be done.

Hatred is never ended by hatred but by love.

Attachment is the source of all suffering.

Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck.

The Buddhas do but tell the way; it is for you to swelter at the task.

Your mind is a powerful thing. When you filter it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

Buddha is in our hearts. Buddha is in our mouths. Buddha is in our daily lives.

Wish I am free from barriers when I die, and Buddha will welcome me from far away.

Live every act fully, as if it were your last.

I manifested in a dreamlike way to dreamlike beings and gave a dreamlike Dharma, but in reality I never taught and never actually came.

There is, Oh Monks, a not-born, a not-become, a not-made, a not-compounded. Monks, if that unborn, not-become, not-made, not-compounded were not, there would be no escape from this here that is born, become, made and compounded.

Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.

Born out of concern for all beings.

If we destroy something around us we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourselves.

We are the same as plants, as trees, as other people, as the rain that falls. We consist of that which is around us, we are the same as everything.

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.

Journey over, sorrowless, freed in every way, and with all bonds broken - for such a man there is no more distress.

My whole life, I never spoke a single-word.
