Sage Buddha: Read the short thoughts and best sayings of the wisest Buddha. Ancient wisdom in short sayings of the greatest sages. Buddha: best words, short and very wise!
Buddha Shakyamuni
(563 BC - 483 BC)
His name translates as "Awakened sage (silent) from the Shakya (Sakya) clan." Spiritual teacher, legendary founder of Buddhism, one of the three world religions.
Conquer yourself and win thousands of battles.
Do not repay evil with evil, otherwise there will be no end to evil. In response to an insult, kiss your enemy, and he will become much more painful.
Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
Truly, a feather that falls from the wing of a small bird produces thunder on the far-off worlds.
He who thinks he can can.
To think that someone else can make you happy or unhappy is simply ridiculous.
You yourself, more than anyone else in the entire universe, deserve your love and devotion.
What we are today is a consequence of our yesterday's thoughts, and today's thoughts create tomorrow's life. Life is a creation of our mind.
Hate cannot overcome hate. Only love conquers hatred. This is the eternal law.
If you want to know what they did in past life, - look at your current state. If you want to know your future, look at your actions today.
Any intensified attachment to everything earthly is suffering.
Victory breeds hatred; the vanquished lives in sorrow. In happiness lives the calm, who has refused victory and defeat.
Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and its life will not become shorter. Happiness does not decrease when you share it.
Even an intelligent person will become stupid if he does not cultivate himself.
What is the laughter, what is the joy, when the world is constantly on fire? Covered in darkness, why don't you seek the light?
He who devotes himself to vanity and does not devote himself to reflection, who has forgotten the goal, who clings to pleasure, envies the self-absorbed.
What is the use of a man's eloquence if he does not follow his own words?
When the water in the tanks is polluted, all taps will only give dirty water. Your heart is a reservoir. Your vision and thoughts are impure, your speech is dirty. When the heart is polluted in this way, the senses are doomed to be polluted.
To know the elect is good, and to live with them is true happiness; happy is he who does not have to associate with fools.
Do not think lightly of good: "It will not come to me." After all, the jug is filled with falling drops.
The most essential thing is a loving heart.
Everything we are is the result of our thoughts.
Immortality can only be achieved by continuous acts of kindness.
It will be better if instead of a thousand words you find one, but one that inspires the World.
Renounce all evil, increase goodness, purify your mind: This is the advice of all the Buddhas.
It is not by birth that a higher and lower personality is determined, but by his deeds a person confirms this belonging.
His feelings are calm, like horses harnessed by a driver. He has given up pride and is devoid of desire. Even the gods envy him.
Everyone trembles before punishment, everyone is afraid of death - put yourself in the place of another. You can neither kill nor force to kill.
Those who know that we are all doomed to die here do not waste time on empty quarrels ...
Did you read wise words spoken by the greatest Buddha.

Concentration in the midst of frivolity, awake among the sleeping, a person who distinguishes fakes is like a fast horse against the background of frail nags.

Some return to the mother's womb, those who do evil fall into the underworld, the righteous go to heaven, the desireless reach Nirvana.
***
Do not speak rudely to anyone; those with whom you spoke rudely will answer you in the same way. After all, irritated speech is unpleasant, and retribution can touch you.
***
Not the wise man who keeps good and beautiful speeches but he who is patient, free from hatred and free from fear, is only a truly wise person.
***
What we are today is a consequence of our yesterday's thoughts, and today's thoughts create tomorrow's life. Life is a creation of our mind.
***
If someone in a battle defeated a thousand people a thousand times, and another defeated himself alone, then it is this other who is the greatest winner in the battle.
***
Thoughts are the forerunner of states. If one acts or speaks, and his thoughts are not good, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of a buffalo.
***
No one saves us, except ourselves, no one has the right and no one is able to do this. We ourselves must tread the path, but the words of the Buddha will clearly indicate it.
***
The night is long for the awakened one, the path is long for the weary one. The process of realizing spiritual immaturity is also long for those who do not know the true essence of things.
***
Let go of the past. Let go of the future. Let go of the real. Those who have crossed to a more distant shore of being, with a mind liberated from everything, are not subjected to birth and death again.
***
The best of all paths is the Eightfold Path. The best of all truths are the Four Noble Truth. Non app is the best of all states. The best of all people is the Seer.
***
Just as a lotus can grow on a heap of rubbish thrown onto a high road, sweet-smelling and pleasing to the mind, so the disciple of a truly enlightened one stands out in wisdom among blind mediocrities, among beings like garbage.
Don't trust what you've heard; do not trust traditions, as they have been passed down from generation to generation; do not trust anything if it is a rumor or the opinion of the majority; do not trust if it is only a record of the saying of some old sage; do not trust guesses; do not trust what you think is true, what you are used to; do not trust the bare authority of your teachers and elders alone. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and contributes to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live according to it.

Reviews
Here is the best saying of the Buddha:
"Don't trust what you've heard; don't trust traditions because they've been handed down from generation to generation; don't trust anything if it's hearsay or majority opinion; don't trust anything if it's just a record of some old sage's saying; don't trust hunches do not trust what you think is the truth, what you are accustomed to do not trust the bare authority of your teachers and elders alone After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and contributes to the good and benefit of one and each, then accept it and live according to it."
And now, Hasai, I have a question for you to backfill-).
Well, the danger, Buddha, Christ, lies in the fact that they stood up against statehood, they created their own world and did not recognize traditions
therefore they were dangerous. "There is no prophet in his own country" If you know that the Buddha was poisoned in general, he died stupidly.
Sincerely Hassan.
Previously, I studied the question of whether the Buddha was poisoned and by what and by whom.
So, there is no monomonic about this. There are two versions of poisoning - mushrooms or pork. So the difference between these two Indian words is only one letter. But the fact that the Buddha for several years abandoned food restrictions is generally reliable. He motivated like this: for many years I did not eat meat and limited myself in food, but this did not relieve me of suffering, so why did I abstain for so many years?
Now about my question, what is the danger of the Buddha. The Buddha is dangerous because if people begin to live like the Buddha, that is, to withdraw from suffering and pleasure, then humanity will simply die out. Because suffering and pleasure are the two main antagonisms, thanks to which life exists. Also about desires - Buddha says: give up desires. But desires are a virtual motor of a person, this is what he actually lives in - in anticipation of the fulfillment of desires.
This is actually the conclusion: Buddha is the enemy of life, the enemy of man. And this despite the fact that the Buddha does not physically touch or kill anyone. But one has only to become Buddhists - and human life stop on earth. This is where the Buddha is dangerous. However...-) something very few people want to live as a Buddhist.
With Jesus, it's just the opposite. The main thought of Jesus and Christianity: - Be patient! No matter how bad it is for you - endure and live and do not dare lay hands on yourself, no matter how bad you feel.
Thus, Jesus and Christianity are life-affirming.
Prayer at Buddha statue
“When a person feels like everything is going wrong, something wonderful is trying to enter his life.”
Dalai Lama XIVBelow are the published quotes of Gautama Buddha, although they are not presented in the style of the times of the life of the Buddha and are transcribed modern language but they retained their essence. By observing these twenty-five lessons, a person will be freed from the passions and agitations on which suffering is based, and will achieve peace and wisdom of perception. Many quotes are similar to the aphorisms of psychologists, everything is simple, because everything new is well forgotten old. And all the current wisdom of psychologists originate from ancient wisdom. There is nothing in His sermons that contradicts the harmony of any other religious teaching or psychology.
So read, take into account and be sure to apply in life, without action, faith is blind, and information will never become knowledge. Practice is the basic requirement of the Buddha.
Aphorisms from Buddhism, freeing from anxiety
- Peace is within you. Don't look for it outside.
- When the mind is clear, joy follows you like a shadow and never leaves you.
- We are formed from our thoughts. We become what we think.
- The secret to a healthy mind and body is not to lament over the past, not to worry too much about the future, and to live consciously in the present moment.
- Being angry is like holding a hot coal in your palms, intending to throw it at someone. But it burns you first of all.
- Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and dedicate your whole heart and soul to it.
- A fool who knows his own stupidity is thereby already wise, and a fool who thinks he is wise is truly a fool, as they say.
- Every morning we are born again. Only what you do now matters.
- There is no fire in the world more powerful than passion, a shark more ferocious than hatred, and a hurricane more devastating than greed.
- Happiness does not depend on who you are or what you have. It depends entirely on what you think.
- You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
- To understand everything is to forgive everything.
- It is better to be mistaken a thousand times, mistaking a scoundrel for a saint, than once, mistaking a saint for a scoundrel.
- Hatred will never be destroyed by hatred, but only by love.
- Everything we are is the result of our thoughts.
- The whole secret of existence lies in getting rid of fears. Do not be afraid of what will happen to you, your future will not change from this, but the present will become calm.
- There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the way.
- Pain is inevitable. But suffering is a personal choice for everyone.
- Happiness will never come to those who do not appreciate what they already have.
- Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and its life will not become shorter. Happiness does not decrease when you share it.
- If the hand is not injured, one can carry the poison in the hand. Poison will not harm one who has no wounds. He who does not do evil himself is not subject to evil.
- Even an intelligent person will become stupid if he does not cultivate himself.
- One useful word, upon hearing which one becomes calm, is better than a thousand speeches made up of useless words.
- Canal builders release water, archers subdue an arrow, carpenters subdue wood, wise men humble themselves.
- Conquer yourself and win a thousand battles.
I have gone through the samsara of many births. Being born again and again is sad.
Victory breeds hatred; the vanquished lives in sorrow. In happiness lives the calm, who has refused victory and defeat.
Even if I am a Buddha, I can neither wash away the deeds of someone, nor erase the suffering of beings with my hand. But, although I cannot convey my realization to others, I can lead them to Liberation with my Teaching of the peace of the natural state.
The hallmarks of true religion are benevolence, love, truthfulness, purity, generosity, kindness.
If someone in a battle defeated a thousand people a thousand times, and another defeated himself alone, then it is this other who is the greatest winner in the battle.
Do not speak rudely to anyone; those with whom you spoke rudely will answer you in the same way. After all, irritated speech is unpleasant, and retribution can touch you.
It is not by birth that a person determines a higher and lower personality, but by his deeds a person confirms this belonging.
You need not worry, an evil word must not escape your lips; you must remain benevolent, with a pure heart, full of love, containing no secret malice.
Anger will disappear as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
May he conquer anger with the absence of anger, evil with kindness, may he conquer stinginess with generosity, truth with a liar.
With this quality, you have all the enlightened qualities - they are at your fingertips. What is this quality? - Great sympathy.
Connect yourself to goodness, connect yourself to the best of people.
Let him look not at the mistakes of others, at what others have done and not done, but at what he himself has done and not done.
Do not harm another that could be the cause of your suffering.
His feelings are calm, like horses harnessed by a driver. He has given up pride and is devoid of desire. Even the gods envy him.
Goodwill towards all beings is true religiosity.
Immortality can only be achieved by continuous acts of kindness; perfection is achieved through compassion and mercy.
Cherish in your hearts boundless benevolence towards all things.
Do not covet and do not envy, but rejoice in the success of other people.
Let no one deceive another, let no one despise another, let no one out of anger or resentment wish harm to another.
It will be better if instead of a thousand words you find one, but one that inspires the World.
It would be better if instead of a thousand verses you find one, but one that will show Beauty.
It will be better if instead of a thousand songs you find one, but one that bestows Joy.
Everyone trembles before punishment, everyone is afraid of death - put yourself in the place of another. You can neither kill nor force to kill.
"Great yogi" simply means to be free from attachment and clinging.
A father becomes a son in another life, a mother becomes a wife, and an enemy becomes a friend; it always changes. Therefore, there is nothing definite in Samsara.
The most essential thing is a loving heart.
Canal builders release water, archers subdue an arrow, carpenters subdue wood, wise men humble themselves.
Everything for everything always.
Do not think lightly of good: "It will not come to me." After all, the jug is filled with falling drops.
And it was not, and will not be, and now there is no person who is worthy of only censure or only praise.
Hatred does not stop with hatred, but hatred does not stop with the absence of hatred.
From attachment sorrow is born, from attachment fear is born; one who is freed from attachment has no sorrow, where does fear come from?
Evil returns, like the finest dust thrown against the wind.
Some return to the mother's womb, those who do evil fall into the underworld, the righteous go to heaven, the desireless reach Nirvana.
I call a brahmana one who here has avoided attachment to good and evil, who is carefree, passionless and pure.
Whoever looks at the world as one looks at a bubble, as one looks at a mirage, the king of death does not see him.
Do not increase existence!
A fool who knows his own stupidity is thus already wise, and a fool who thinks he is wise is truly a fool, as they say.
The foolish one is filled with evil, even by gradually accumulating it.
It is easy to do bad and harmful things for yourself. That which is good and useful is extremely difficult to do.
The mind of one who is slow to do good finds pleasure in evil.
If anyone sees a wise man pointing out shortcomings and reproaching for them, let him follow such a wise man as one who points out a treasure. It will be better, not worse, for him who follows this.
There is no happiness equal to peace.
In one who is respectful and always respects the old, the four dhammas increase: life, beauty, happiness, strength.
Without knowledge there is no meditation; without meditation there is no knowledge; and one who possesses both knowledge and meditation is close to reality.
After all, I am my own master. Who else can be master? A person full of humility of his self finds a master who is difficult to find.
Look at this adorned image, at a body full of flaws, made up of parts, sickly, full of many thoughts in which there is neither certainty nor constancy.
Everything created is subject to the law of destruction. Achieve your goals through diligence.
Everything we are is the result of our thoughts.
Any increased attachment to everything earthly is suffering.
This body is worn out, a nest of diseases, mortal. This putrid heap decays, for life has an end - death.
Just as rain penetrates a thatched house, so lust penetrates the undeveloped mind.
As a strong rock cannot be moved by the wind, so the sages are unshakable amidst blasphemy and praise.
Thoughts are the forerunner of (all bad) states. If one acts or speaks, and his thoughts are not good, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of a buffalo.
Hatred cannot overcome hatred; only love conquers hatred. This is the eternal law.
The curbing of thought, barely restrained, lightweight, stumbling anywhere, is a blessing. A restrained thought leads to happiness.
"He insulted me, he hit me, he got the better of me, he robbed me! .." For those who harbor such thoughts, hatred does not stop. For never in this world does hatred cease with hatred, but it ceases with the absence of hatred.
Seriousness is the path to immortality, frivolity is the path to death. The serious do not die, the frivolous are like the dead.
It is difficult to become a man; the life of mortals is difficult; it is difficult to listen to the true dhamma; difficult is the birth of the Enlightened One.
What is the laughter, what is the joy, when the world is constantly on fire? Covered in darkness, why don't you seek the light?
Watch over yourself in your thoughts, watch over your word, guard your actions from all evil. Keeping the purity of these three paths, you will enter the path traced by the Wise.
All good things are nothing before the good of truth; all sweetness is nothing before the sweetness of truth; the bliss of truth immeasurably surpasses all joys.
If a person's hand is not injured, he can touch snake venom - poison is not dangerous to a healthy hand; evil is harmless only to him who does not himself do evil.
If the wanderer does not meet someone like him or better, let him strengthen himself in solitude: there is no friendship with a fool.
To know the elect is good, and to live with them is true happiness; happy is he who does not have to associate with fools.
True faith is not an ostentatious faith in temples, manifested in rituals, customs, but hidden in hearts, matured in deeds.
Truly, a feather that falls from the wing of a small bird produces thunder in the far-off worlds.
Just as rain penetrates irresistibly into a poorly covered building, so passions easily penetrate into a heart that is not protected by reflections.
Whoever imagines the truth in a lie and sees a lie in the truth, he will never comprehend the truth and will rush about in error in vain. But the one who saw the lie in the lie and recognized the truth in the truth is already close to the truth and his path is right.
Only he enters the good path, who, following the correct teaching, understands in the vicious - the vicious and in the immaculate - the immaculate.
It is easy to live for someone who is impudent, like a crow, impudent, obsessive, reckless, spoiled. But it is difficult to live for someone who is modest, who is always looking for the pure, who is impartial, cold-blooded, perspicacious, whose life is pure.
It is easy to notice the delusions of others, but it is difficult to notice one's own; they like to understand the mistakes of their loved ones, but hide their own, as a rogue tries to hide his fake dice.
A man is apt to constantly blame others: he looks only at their mistakes, but his own passions grow more and more, removing him from improvement.
Only he I will call a faithful charioteer who restrains his anger, rushing like a swift chariot; others, powerless, only hold on to the reins.
Our life is the result of our thoughts; it is born in our heart, it comes from our thoughts. If a person speaks or acts with an evil thought, suffering relentlessly follows him, like a wheel following the heel of an ox drawing a wagon.
Our life is the result of our thoughts; it is born in our heart, it is created by our thought. If a person speaks or acts with a good thought, joy follows him like a shadow that never leaves.
"He offended me, he triumphed over me, he enslaved me, he offended me" - in a heart disturbed by such thoughts, hatred will never fade.
Few among the people reach the opposite shore. The rest of the people just fuss on the local shore.
Unjust is the man who does anything by violence; no, only he who distinguishes both ways - right and wrong, who teaches others and guides them not by violence, but by law and justice, who is faithful to truth and reason - he will only be called truly truthful.
Not the sage who keeps kind and beautiful speeches, but who is patient, free from hatred and free from fear, is only a truly wise person.
Oh, how happy we are, living without hatred for those who hate us; how happy we are if we live among those who hate!
Oh, how happy we are, free from greed among the greedy. Among people eaten by greed, we live free from it!
Oh, how happy we are, not calling anything ours. We are like bright gods, drunk with holiness!
Having understood the destructibility of the created, you will see the eternally unchangeable.
Property is not things, but thoughts. You can have things and still not be the owner.
There are only two mistakes that a person can make on the path to truth: he does not go all the way and does not begin his path.
Happy are people if they call nothing but their soul their own.
He who later covered his former evil deeds with good ones, shines in this gloomy world like a moon in a cloudy night.
The one whose malice has no limits, the one who is wrapped around it like a dodder, will soon lead himself to where only his worst enemy would like to push him.
Fresh strained milk does not sour, an evil deed does not immediately bear fruit, but like a fire buried in warmth, it gradually burns and torments the madman.
To establish the realm of truth, I will beat the drum of immortality in the darkness of this world.
It will be better if instead of a thousand words you find one, but one that inspires the World. It would be better if instead of a thousand verses you find one, but one that will show Beauty. It will be better if instead of a thousand songs You find one, but one that bestows Joy.
Attachment to names and forms, and not understanding the fact that they are based only on the activities of the mind itself, leads to confusion and becomes an obstacle on the path to Liberation.
The truth for each person lies in his own soul.
People are looking for intercessors and mentors outside themselves and thereby plunge themselves into suffering.
Everything we are is created by our thoughts.
You yourself, more than anyone else in the entire universe, deserve your love and devotion.
No one saves us, except ourselves, no one has the right and no one is able to do this. We ourselves must tread the path, but the Buddhas will clearly indicate it.
Conditioned existence is suffering. Suffering has a reason. Suffering has an end, and there are paths that lead to that end.
After all, I am my own master. Who else can be master? A person full of humility of his self finds a master who is difficult to find.
A trembling, trembling thought, easily vulnerable and hard to contain, the sage directs an arrow like an archer.
Except me and people like me, no one can judge another person.
I can die happily: I have not left a single teaching in my closed palm. Everything that is useful to you, I have already given.
I have taught you the means of Liberation. Now be diligent, because its achievement depends only on you. (Buddha Shakyamuni, Vinaya)
There are many sutras, tantras and philosophical works, and many are very detailed. But life is short and the possibilities of reason are limited, and it is difficult to cover them all. You can know a lot, but if you do not put it into practice, then it is like dying of thirst on the shore of a large lake. Therefore, it happens that an ordinary corpse is found in the bed of a great scientist. (Karma Chagme, "Union of Mahamudra and Dzogchen")
From what can one understand whether a person knows the Dharma and whether he practices it? - From whether it acts as an antidote negative emotions and attachment to "I". (Milarepa)
Knowledge is boundless, like the stars in the sky, and there is no end to the subjects of study. So isn't it better to immediately grasp their essence - the unchanging fortress of the Dharmakaya? (Longchen Rabjam)
Inner absolute wisdom can arise as a sign of accumulated merit and purification from obscurations, as well as by the power of the blessing of a perfect teacher. Know that relying on any other means is reckless.
Even if your gaze is higher than the sky, let your deeds be finer than barley flour. (Padmasambhava)
Theoretical understanding wears out like patches, sensations melt like smoke, but comprehension remains unchanged like space. (Teachings of the Line of Practice)
In this era of conflict, craftsmen have both strengths and weaknesses. No one is permanently free from gaffes. Therefore, students should, after careful examination, follow the one who has the most merit. (Pundarika)
The difference between Buddhas and ordinary beings can be compared to the difference between narrowness and openness of space. Living beings are like space in a fist, while Buddhas are completely open and all-encompassing. (Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche)
In the gap between two thoughts there is always a thought-free wakefulness. (Milarepa)
All the happiness that exists in the world comes from wanting happiness for others. All the suffering that exists in the world comes from the desire for happiness for oneself. (Shantideva)
Most importantly - both now and later - do not give in to pride! Don't give in to vanity! After all, if you succumb, you will remain fools both in the Dharma and in the world. Drop lies and pretense! And you will surely find your way. (Milarepa)
Even a hundred spearmen will not dispel the thought bubbles in the mind. A great yogi knows how not to dwell on them. (Milarepa)
Overwhelmed by sadness? - Remember the Lama! His blessing will bring ease to your mind. (Milarepa)
It is very, very difficult to help others if you cannot help yourself! (Milarepa)
If we could clearly see the miracle of one flower, our whole life would change.
~ Buddha
Buddhism is one of the most ancient and widespread world religions. Although many of its adherents do not define Buddhism as a religion, they see in this teaching simply "the science of consciousness." This science was based primarily on the observations and conclusions of the legendary sage Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. His philosophy has had a huge impact on all world religions and is worthy of being known to any person, regardless of their beliefs.
Today we want to introduce you to the most important lessons that the Buddha gave us:
1. Love conquers all
“Hatred cannot overcome hate, it can only be overcome by love. This is the eternal law."
2. What defines you is not what you say, but what you do.
“You can’t call a person a wise man just because he speaks, but if you see that he lives in peace, love and the absence of fear, then he is actually wise.”
“A dog is not considered good if it can only bark. A person cannot be considered virtuous if he simply says the right and pleasant things.”
3. The secret to good health is living fully in the present.
"Don't linger in the past, don't dream about the future, focus your mind entirely on the present moment."
“The secret of health for mind and body is not to grieve over the past, not to worry too much about the future, but to live in the present moment wisely and sincerely.”
4. Looking inward gives understanding
“You should not look for your way in heaven. You just have to look into your heart."
5. Words can hurt and heal
“Words have power and can both destroy and heal. correct and good words can change our world."
6. Let go and it will be yours forever
"Most the right way to lose is to keep clinging to something.”
7. No one can live your life for you.
“No one will save us but ourselves. Nobody can do it, and nobody will. We have to go our own way."
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and its life will not become shorter. Happiness does not decrease when you share it.
9. Be kind to everyone
“Be gentle with the young, compassionate with the old, tolerant of the weak and erring. Sometime in your life you will be or have been each of them.”
“Convey the simple truth to everyone and everywhere: only a noble heart, a heartfelt word and compassion are needed to renew humanity.”
10. Don't believe everything you are told.
“Don't trust what you've heard; do not trust traditions, as they have been passed down from generation to generation; do not trust anything if it is a rumor or the opinion of the majority; do not trust if it is only a record of the saying of some old sage; do not trust guesses; do not trust what you think is true, what you are used to; do not trust the bare authority of your teachers and elders alone. After observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and contributes to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live according to it.

16. No one is more worthy of your love than yourself.
“You can search throughout the universe for someone who deserves your love and affection more than yourself, but this person is nowhere to be found. You yourself, more than anyone else in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
