Gautama Buddha

Abstain from all sinful, unwholesome actions, perform only pious wholesome ones, purify the mind; this is the teaching of enlightened ones

The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.

Rising early and scorning laziness, remaining calm in time of strife, faultless in conduct and clever in actions. One like this will be praised.

If there is no other world and there is no fruit and ripening of actions well done or ill done, then here and now in this life I shall be free from hostility, affliction, and anxiety, and I shall live happily.

There are three ways to correct our faults:We can change through behavior We can change through understanding We can change heart

In his ignorance of the whole truth, each person maintains his own arrogant point of view.

Those who speak much are blamed, those who speak little are blamed. In this world there are none who are not blamed. Try not to blame.

If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.

Do not speak harshly to any one; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful: blows for blows will touch thee.

Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is pleasant.

Speak only the speech that neither torments self nor does harm to others. That speech is truly well spoken.

Speak the truth do not become angered and give when asked, even be it a little. By these three conditions one goes to the presence of the gods.

All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.

Like a beautiful flower that is colorful but has no fragrance, even well spoken words bear no fruit in one who does not put them into practice.

If you knew what I know about the power of giving, you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.

Though thousand times a thousand in battle one may conquer, yet should one conquer just oneself, one is the greatest conqueror.

Long is the night to him who is awake; long is a mile to him who is tired; long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law.

Do not look at the faults of what others have done or not done; observe what you yourself have done or not done.
