Gautama Buddha

Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.

Buddha

Love is beauty and beauty is truth, and that is why in the beauty of a flower we can see the truth of the universe.

Buddha

Maintain a state of balance between physical acts and inner serenity,like a lute whose strings are finely tuned.

Buddha

Man’s troubles are rooted in extreme attention to senses, thoughts, and imagination. Attention should be focused internally to experience a quiet body and a calm mind.

Buddha

Many do not realize that we here must die. For those who realize this, quarrels end.

Buddha

Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.

Buddha

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

Buddha

Men give up one thing to take up another, but in spite of numerous changes they do not find peace. They are no better than monkeys who let go one bough to take hold of another, only to let it go again.

Buddha

Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean, nor by entering into mountain clefts, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may escape from the results of evil deeds.

Buddha

Never by hatred is hatred appeased, but it is appeased by kindness. This is an eternal truth.

Buddha
