Teachings of the Buddha

Everything changes, nothing remains without change. Everything that has a beginning has an ending. Make your peace with that and all will be well. - The Buddha

Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man. - The Buddha

From craving arises sorrow, from craving arises fear, but he who is freed from craving has no sorrow and certainly no fear. - The Buddha

Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy. - The Buddha

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love, this is the eternal rule - The Buddha

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. - The Buddha

He who gives away shall have real gain. He who subdues himself shall be free; he shall cease to be a slave of passions. The righteous man casts off evil, and by rooting out lust, bitterness, and illusion do we reach Nirvana. - Buddha

He who looks for me, that is, through any material form, or seeks me through any audible sound, that man has entered on an erroneous course, and shall never behold the Buddha. - The Buddha

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

He whose longing has been aroused for the indescribable, whose mind has been quickened by it, and whose thought is not attached to sensuality is truly called one who is bound upstream. - The Buddha

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them? - The Buddha

If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to you. - The Buddha
