A “pagan” asked Buddha, “With words, with silence, will you tell me (the Way)?”
Buddha silently kept meditating.
The “pagan” bowed and thanked the Buddha, saying, “With the compassion you have cleared away the clouds of my mind and have made me enter into the awakening.”
After he left, Ananda asked the Buddha what he had attained.
The Buddha said, “A good horse runs even a shadow of the whip.”
Buddha
“In the end these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?”
Buddha
“Just as a snake sheds its skin,
we must shed our past over and over again.”
Buddha
We are shaped by our thoughts;
we become what we think.
When the mind is pure,
joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
“A human is not called wise because one talks
and
talks again;
but
if one is peaceful,loving
and
fearless
then
one is in truth called wise.”
Buddha
“True love is born from understanding.”
Buddha
We are shaped by our thoughts;
we become what we think.
When the mind is pure,
joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
Buddha
