Endurance is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it
is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.
Buddha
The Teachings of Buddha, Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
Good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men never appreciate
kindness shown them, but wise men appreciate and are grateful.
Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude by
some return of kindness, not only to their benefactor, but
to everyone else.
Buddha
The Teachings of Buddha, Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the
world are an alluring mirage! Like the apparent distances
in a picture, things have no reality in themselves, but they
are like heat haze.
Buddha
The Teachings of Buddha, Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's
own in the midst of abundance.
Buddha
The Teachings of Buddha, Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
Wherever there is light, there is shadow; wherever there is
length, there is shortness; wherever there is white, there
is black. Just like these, as the self-nature of things can
not exist alone, they are called non-substantial.
Buddha
The Teachings of Buddha, Bukkyo Dendo
Kyokai.
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.
Buddha
Wisdom of the Buddha: The Unabridged
Dhammapada.
Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids
poison.
Buddha
Wisdom of the Buddha: The Unabridged
Dhammapada.
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
Dhammapada.
Do not rely upon what has been acquired by repeated tradition;
nor upon lineage; nor upon rumour; nor upon what is handed
down in the teachings; nor upon logic; nor upon inference;
nor upon a consideration of reasons; nor upon a delight in
speculation; nor upon appearances; nor upon respect for your
teacher. Kalmas, when you know for yourselves: These things
are unskilful; these things are blameable; these things are
censured by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things
lead to harm and suffering, then abandon them.
Buddha
Kalama Sutta.
His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel
of fortune may turn again and bring him down into the dust.
Buddha
The Gospel of Buddha by Paul Carus.
Nothing is permanent or sanatan. Everything is subject to
change. Being is always Becoming.
Buddha
Buddha or Karl Marx by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
Nothing is infallible. Nothing is binding forever. Every thing
is subject to inquiry and examination.
Buddha
Buddha or Karl Marx by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
This is to be done by one skilled in aims
who wants to break through to the state of peace:
Be capable, upright, & straightforward,
easy to instruct, gentle, & not conceited,
content & easy to support,
with few duties, living lightly,
with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.
Do not do the slightest thing
that the wise would later censure.
Buddha
Karaniya Metta Sutta.
Ye must leave righteous ways behind, not to speak of unrighteous
ways.
Buddha
Majjhima-Nikaya.
This Ariyan Eightfold Path, that is to say: Right view, right
aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort,
right mindfulness, right contemplation.
Buddha
Buddhism and Indian Civilization by R.
K. Pruthi.
He who for the sake of happiness hurts others who also want
happiness, shall not hereafter find happiness.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
He who destroys life, who utters lies, who takes what is not
given to him, who goes to the wife of another, who gets drunk
with strong drinks -- he digs up the very roots of his life.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
The wise who hurt no living being, and who keep their body
under self-control, they go to the immortal Nirvana, where
once gone they sorrow no more.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
A man is not a great man because he is a warrior and kills
other men; but because he hurts not any living being he in
truth is called a great man.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
All beings fear before danger, life is dear to all. When a
man considers this, he does not kill or cause to kill.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Like a fish which is thrown on dry land, taken from his home
in the waters, the mind strives and struggles to get free
from the power of Death.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Overcome anger by peacefulness: overcome evil by good. Overcome
the mean by generosity; and the man who lies by truth.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings.
As t he shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred,
there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Let a man overcome anger by love.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
We are shaped by our thoughts;
We become what we think.
When the mind is pure, joy follows
Like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
What we think, we become.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
No one saves us but ourselves,
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path,
But Buddhas clearly show the way.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Can there be joy and laughter
When always the world is ablaze?
Enshrouded in darkness
Should you not seek a light?
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Yet the Teaching is simple.
Do what is right.
Be pure.
At the end of the way is freedom.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
Do not what is evil. Do what is good. Keep your mind pure.
This is the teaching.
Buddha
Dhammapada
To cease from evil, to do good, and to purify the mind yourself,
this is the teaching of all the Buddhas.
Buddha
Dhammapada.
