Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
Buddha
Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds.
Buddha
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha (B.C. 568-488)
An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.
Buddha
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burned.
Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
What we think, we become.
Buddha
To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.
Buddha (B.C.E. 568-488)
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.
Buddha
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
Buddha
Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.
Buddha
Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.
Buddha
"We are what we think.
All that we are arises
With our thoughts.
With our thoughts,
We make our world."
Buddha
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
Buddha
"As the fletcher whittles and makes straight his arrows, so the master directs his straying thoughts." -Buddha
Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it.
Buddha
Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
Buddha
You are all the Buddha.
Last words of Buddha.
