These are some of the enlightened words of Buddha that make your day positive & spiritual.
- Happy indeed we live, friendly amidst the hostile. Amidst hostile people, we dwell free from hatred.
- Victory begets enmity, the defeated dwell in pain. Happily, the peaceful life, discarding both victory and defeat.
- Health is the highest gain and contentment the greatest wealth. A trustworthy person is the best kinsman, Nibbana the highest bliss.
- One should follow only such a person, who is truly good and discerning, even as the moon follows the path of the stars.
- From craving springs grief, from craving springs fear. For those who are wholly free from craving there is no grief, whence then fear? People hold dear one who embodies virtue and insight, who is principled, has realized the Truth, and who oneself does what one ought to be doing.
- Hard is it to be born a human, hard is the life of mortals. Hard is it to gain the opportunity to hear the Sublime Truth, and hard indeed, to encounter the arising of the Buddhas.
- Should a person do good, let one do it again and again. Let one find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
- Better it is to live one day wise and meditative than to live a hundred years foolishly and uncontrolled.
- Calm is one’s thought, calm one’s speech and calm one’s deed, who, truly knowing, is whole, freed, perfectly tranquil, and wise.
- Not the sweet smell of flowers, not even the fragrance of sandal, tagara, or jasmine blows against the wind. But the fragrance of the virtuous person pervades all directions with the fragrance of that virtue.
- Let the discerning person guard the mind, so difficult to detect and extremely subtle, seizing whatever it desires. A guarded mind brings happiness.
- As a fish when pulled out of water and cast on land throbs and quivers, even so, is this mind agitated. Hence one should leave the realm of passions.
- Just as a storm throws down a weak tree, so does Maya overpower the person who lives for the pursuit of pleasures, who is uncontrolled in one’s senses, immoderate in eating, indolent, and dissipated.
