Gautama Buddha

Persevere in thy quest and thou shalt find what thou seekest. Pursue thy aim unswervingly and thou shalt gain victory. Struggle earnestly and thou shalt triumph.

The darkest night is ignorance.

How wonderful, how miraculous, all beings, but all beings, are fully endowed with the wisdom and power of the Tathagat. But, sadly, human beings, due to sticky attachments, are not aware of it

Stay centered, do not overstretch. Extend from your center, return to your center.

If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.

Because not even the least Dharma is there found or got at. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlightenment'. Self-identical is that Dharma and nothing is therein at variance. Therefore is it called 'utmost, right and perfect enlighten'

Those which are produced from causes are not produced. they do not have an inherent nature of production. those which depend on causes are said to be empty; those who know emptiness are aware.

All composite things pass away. Strive for your own liberation with diligence.

Will not be punished for your anger, your anger is the punishment.

As a flower that is lovely and beautiful, but is scentless, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who practices it not.

Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.

All phenomena do not inherently exist because of being dependent-arisings. all phenomena do not inherently exist because of being dependently imputed.

Whoever sees me sees the teaching, and whoever sees the teaching sees me.

From a withered tree, a flower blooms

To insist on a spiritual practice that served you in the past is to carry the raft on your back after you have crossed the river.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.

If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better, or his equal, let him firmly keep to his solitary journey; there is no companionship with a fool.

Our life is a creation of our mind.

Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

The glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old; but the virtue of the good never grows old.
