NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 917

 

  • ·       “But truly, Ananda, it is nothing strange that human beings should die.” - Buddha

    ·       “A mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from defilements cleansed, from fear liberated—this is the greatest blessing.” - Buddha

    ·       “Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.” - Buddha

    ·       “The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.” - Buddha

    ·       “Whatever is felt is within suffering.” - Buddha

    ·       “Pleasant feeling is impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, bound to decay, to vanish, to fade away, to cease—and so too are painful feeling and neutral feeling. So anyone who, on experiencing a pleasant feeling, thinks: ‘This is my self,’ must, at the cessation of that pleasant feeling, think: ‘My self has gone!'” - Buddha

    ·       “He who, seeking his own happiness, punishes or kills beings who also long for happiness, will not find happiness after his death.” - Buddha

    ·       “Conquer anger with love, evil with good, meanness with generosity, and lies with truth.” - Buddha

    ·       “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” - Buddha
