I will not look at another's bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.

Meditate. Do not delay, lest you later regret it.

If you meditate earnestly, pure in mind and kind in deeds, leading a disciplined life in harmony with the dharma, you will grow in glory. If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.

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.
#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
Pain is certain; suffering is optional.
#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
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 #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.

It is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind, but one conceals one’s own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his dice.
#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated — this is the greatest blessing.
#buddha #hindu #quotes #wisdom #spirituality #philosophy
Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.
