Speaking out, timeless and wise, from the 6th century BC;
The Words of Buddha for contemplation, learning, study, sharing.
Words of wisdom for life today, tomorrow, and life beyond.
The spirit of Buddha is that of great loving kindness and compassion. The great loving kindness is the spirit to save all people by any and all means. The great compassion is the spirit that prompts it to be ill with the illness of people, to suffer with their suffering.
- Teaching of Buddha, His Compassion and vows, pg 28
Buddha-nature is hidden away beneath the wild growth of worldly passions and can rarely be discovered, but Buddha found it and revealed it to the people.
Pure gold is procured by melting ore and removing all impure substances. If people would melt the ore of their minds and remove all the impurities of worldly passion and egoism, they would all recover the same pure Buddha-nature.
If you are quiet enough, you will hear the flow of the universe. You will feel its rhythm. Go with this flow. Happiness lies ahead. Meditation is key. - Words of Buddha
Words of Buddha
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
Dhammapada, Sayings of Buddha
Words of Buddha
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Dhammapada, Sayings of Buddha
Wisdom of Buddha
Do only what you do not regret and fill yourself with joy.

All that we are is the result of all that we have thought.

Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.
