Buddhist Sayings ☸️ in 2024

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame. 

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

Ardently do today what must be done. Who knows? Tomorrow, death comes.

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another.

She who knows life flows, feels no wear or tear, needs no mending or repair.

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

Like a fine flower, beautiful to look at but without scent, fine words are fruitless in a man who does not act in accordance with them.

When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone.

The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood.

If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.

A man is not called wise because he talks and talks again; but if he is peaceful, loving and fearless then he is in truth called wise.

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
