Buddhist Sayings ☸️ in 2024

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.

To support mother and father, to cherish wife and child and to have a simple livelihood; this is the good luck.

What you are is what you have been. What you’ll be is what you do now.

Whatever precious jewel there is in the heavenly worlds, there is nothing comparable to one who is Awakened.

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with truth.

A jug fills drop by drop.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.

Delight in meditation and solitude. Compose yourself, be happy. You are a seeker.

A man asked Gautama Buddha, “I want happiness.” Buddha said, “First remove “I,” that’s Ego, then remove “want,” that’s Desire. See now, you are left with only “Happiness”.

One moment can change a day, one day can change a life and one life can change the world.

When watching after yourself, you watch after others. When watching after others, you watch after yourself.

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.
