Buddha Quotes On Anger

Why would you listen to anything the Buddha says about anger? He may have a reputation as one of the world’s most peaceful men, but he understands the full spectrum of human emotion better than anyone else, as these quotes show.

Buddha

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

Buddha

Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.

Buddha Quotes On Suffering

Witnessing the suffering of those around him started the Buddha on his path of discovery, and as such it is a vast topic of study in Buddhism. These quotes illuminate the nature of suffering and help us dispel it.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves.

Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha

May all that have life be delivered from suffering.

Gautama Buddha

To understand everything is to forgive everything.

Gautama Buddha

Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the ‘pain’ you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity, frequency, duration, etc]

Gautama Buddha

“All conditioned things are impermanent” – when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.

Gautama Buddha

By oneself the evil is done, and it is oneself who suffers: by oneself the evil is not done, and by one’s Self one becomes pure.

Gautama Buddha

A virtuous man or woman who is determined to develop the Supreme Enlightened Mind, should thus develop it: I have to lead all living beings to put a stop to (reincarnation) and escape (suffering), and when they have been so led, not one of them in fact stops (reincarnating) or escapes suffering. Why? Because, if a Bodhisattva believes in the notion of an ego, a personality, or a living being, he is not a true Bodhisattva.

Gautama Buddha

I’ve got children’, ‘I’ve got wealth.’ This is the way a fool brings suffering on himself. He does not even own himself, so how can he have children or wealth?

Gautama Buddha

A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.

Gautama Buddha

One should strive to understand what underlies sufferings and diseases – and aim for health and well-being while gaining in the path.

Buddha

The root of suffering is attachment.

Buddha

Have compassion for all beings, rich and poor alike; each has their suffering. Some suffer too much, others too little.

Buddha

Pain is certain, suffering is optional.

Buddha

The second noble truth is the cause of suffering. The cause of suffering is lust. The surrounding world affects sensation and begets a craving thirst, which clamors for immediate satisfaction. The illusion of self originates and manifests itself in a cleaving to things. The desire to live for the enjoyment of self entangles us in the net of sorrow. Pleasures are the bait and the result is pain.

Buddha

The wise who injure no living being, who keep themselves under self-control, they go to the unchangeable realm of Nirvana where sorrow and suffering are no more.

Buddha

There is no suffering for the traveler who has reached the end of his journey. He is free from all sorrows: the fetters that bound him are thrown away and the burning fever of life is no more.

Buddha

Let each person direct himself to what is right and proper, and then teach others. By doing so, he can avoid pain and suffering.

Buddha

Men, driven by fear, go for refuge in the mountains and forests, the grooves and sacred shrines. But these places are not safe refuge for they do not free a man from suffering.

Buddha

Let a man forsake anger and pride, let him overcome all bondage. No sorrow or suffering can befall a man who is free from attachment to existence and calls nothing his own.

Buddha Quotes On Friendship

In a way, the Buddha was a friend to all of humanity, to all living forms in fact. Read the following quotes and let them provide you with a new perspective on your relationships.

The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

Buddha

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.

Buddha

An insincere and evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.

Buddha

Pay no attention to the faults of others, things done or left undone by others. Consider only what by oneself is done or left undone.

Buddha

If you knew how perfect things are… you would tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

Buddha

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.

Buddha

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world.

Buddha

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

Buddha

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn the past nor worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.

Buddha

Your work is to discover the world, and then with all your heart give yourself to it.

Buddha

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.

Buddha

However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do If you do not act upon them?

Buddha

Teach this triple truth to all… A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

Buddha

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 reasons and your own common sense.

Buddha

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind they can change our world.

Buddha

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road of truth; not going all the way, and not starting.

Buddha

If we destroy something around us we destroy ourselves. If we cheat another, we cheat ourselves.

Buddha

Life is dear to all beings, they have the right to live the same that we do.

Buddha

I never see what has to be done. I only see what remains to be done.

Buddha

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

Gautama Buddha

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If people speak or act with evil thoughts, pain follows them. If people speak or act with pure thoughts, happiness follows them, like a shadow that never leaves them.

Gautama Buddha

Live like a mighty river.

Gautama Buddha

Well-makers lead the water (wherever they like) ; fletchers bend the arrow ; carpenters bend a log of wood ; wise people fashion themselves.

The good renounce everything. The pure don’t babble about sensual desires. Whether touched by pleasure or pain, the wise show no change of temper.

With our thoughts we make the world.

Gautama Buddha

Times of luxury do not last long, but pass away very quickly; nothing in this world can be long enjoyed.
