Gautama Buddha

The man who wears the yellow-dyed robe but is not free from stains himself, without self-restraint and integrity, is unworthy of the robe.

Buddha

The rain could turn to gold and still your thirst would not be slaked. Desire is unquenchable or it ends in tears, even in heaven.

Buddha

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

Buddha

The world is continuous flux and is impermanent.

Buddha

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 worlds originate so that truth may come and dwell therein.

Buddha

There is no meditation without wisdom, and there is no wisdom without meditation. When a man has both meditation and wisdom, he is indeed close to nirvana.

Buddha

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

Buddha

They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.

Buddha

This I tell you: decay is inherent in all conditioned things. Work out your own salvation, with diligence.

Buddha
