Enlighten Saying of Buddha

These are some beautiful words of Buddha’s Mind. Read & follow them.

• Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind wrought. If with a pure mind one speaks or acts, happiness follows one like one’s never-departing shadow.
• “He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me”–those who harbour such thoughts do not still their hatred.
• Just as the rain breaks through an ill- thatched house, even so passion penetrates an undeveloped mind.
• Just as a fletcher straightens an arrow shaft, even so the discerning person straightens one’s mind–so fickle and unsteady, so difficult to guard and control.
• There is no fear for an Awakened One, whose mind is not sodden (by lust) nor afflicted (by hate), and who has gone beyond both merit and demerit.
• Neither mother, father, nor any other relative can do one greater good than one’s own well-directed mind.
• The fool worries, thinking, “I have sons, I have wealth.” Indeed, when he himself is not his own, whence are sons, whence is wealth? A fool knows his foolishness is wise at least to that extent, but a fool who thinks himself wise is called a fool indeed.
• Calm is one’s thought, calm one’s speech and calm one’s deed, who, truly knowing, is wholly, freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.
• Though one may conquer a thousand times a thousand people in battle, yet one indeed is the noblest victor who conquers oneself.
• Arise! Do not be heedless! Lead a life of good conduct. The righteous live happily both in this world and the next.
• People, driven by fear, go for refuge to many places–to hills, woods, groves, trees and shrines.
