distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
Delight in heedfulness! Guard well your thoughts!
Everything
is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak
and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels
of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox.
A
mind unruffled by the vagaries of fortune, from sorrow freed, from
defilements cleansed, from fear liberated — this is the greatest
blessing.
Know
from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow
noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever’s not full makes noise.
Whatever is full is quiet.
You are a seeker. Delight in the mastery of your hands and your feet, of your words and your thoughts.
See
them, floundering in their sense of mine, like fish in the puddles of a

All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?
What
we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present
thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our
mind.
The one who has conquered himself is a far greater hero than he who has defeated a thousand times a thousand men.
Transcendental
intelligence rises when the intellectual mind reaches its limit and if
things are to be realized in their true and essential nature, its
processes of thinking must be transcended by an appeal to some higher
faculty of cognition.
I will not look at another’s bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.
The
external world is only a manifestation of the activities of the mind
itself, and the mind grasps it as an external world simply because of
its habit of discrimination and false-reasoning. The disciple must get
into the habit of looking at things truthfully.
Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought.
If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness follows him like his never-departing shadow.

peace.

world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What’s the

Let
none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions
of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone.
The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.
Offend
in neither word nor deed. Eat with moderation. Live in your heart. Seek
the highest consciousness. Master yourself according to the law. This
is the simple teaching of the awakened.
Life
is like the harp string, if it is strung too tight it won’t play, if it
is too loose it hangs, the tension that produces the beautiful sound
lies in the middle.
Do
not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your
religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of
your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have
been handed down for many generations. But after observation and
analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is
conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and
live up to it.
Just
as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good
deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely
through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the
guidance of virtue.
The wise ones fashioned speech with their thought, sifting it as grain is sifted through a sieve.
The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.

Nothing is forever except change. Click to tweet
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

He
who can curb his wrath as soon as it arises, as a timely antidote will
check snake’s venom that so quickly spreads, — such a monk gives up the
here and the beyond, just as a serpent sheds its worn-out skin.
May all that have life be delivered from suffering.
It
is easy to see the faults of others, but difficult to see one’s own
faults. One shows the faults of others like chaff winnowed in the wind,
but one conceals one’s own faults as a cunning gambler conceals his
dice.

BUDDHA QUOTES ON FEAR

Those attached to the notion ‘I am’ and to views roam the world offending people. Click to tweet
There
is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates
people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up
pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a
sword that kills.
Men,
driven on by thirst, run about like a snared hare; let therefore
mendicant drive out thirst, by striving after passionlessness for
himself.
When
one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one
finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these
feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. Click to tweet
Some do not understand that we must die, but those who do realize this settle their quarrels.
All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Anger
will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in
the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment
are forgotten.
I do not dispute with the world; rather it is the world that disputes with me.
They
blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they
blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is
not blamed.
Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.
Whoever doesn’t flare up at someone who’s angry wins a battle hard to win.
Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

Should you find a wise critic to point out your faults, follow him as you would a guide to hidden treasure.
As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, even so shall I endure abuse.

wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.

Be a lamp for yourselves. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Don’t give up.
Better
it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a
hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
BUDDHA QUOTES ON HEALTH
Go to table of contents
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. Buddha
To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering – an image of death.
The
secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past,
not to worry about the future, not to anticipate the future, but to live
the present moment wisely and earnestly.
BUDDHA QUOTES ON TRUTH
Go to table of contents
Those who have failed to work toward the truth have missed the purpose of living.
Teach
this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of
service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting.
The
calmed say that what is well-spoken is best; second, that one should
say what is right, not unrighteous; third, what’s pleasing, not
displeasing; fourth, what is true, not false.
Conquer
the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness;
conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help. Miyamoto Musashi
Even
the buddha does not want anyone to follow him. Even the greatest
masters cannot give you a single commandment. They see you so uniquely
you, they see your freedom to be so uniquely for you. Osho
Just
two small things: meditation and let-go. Remember these two key words:
meditation and surrender. Meditation will take you in, and surrender
will take you into the whole. And this is the whole of religion. Within
these two words Buddha has condensed the whole essence of religion. Osho

God. Buddha meditated without God; he had no belief in God. Osho

ready to let go of your views. Thich Nhat Hanh (twitter.com)
As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you’ll never see that your own mind is the Buddha. Bodhidharma

For
some people, taking solace in their religion is an important part of
healing. Faith can offer not only daily guidance but steps to work out
important life questions and find comfort. Buddhist quotes, in
particular, can strike that mix of both comfort, food for thought, and a
mantra to help live your life.
Jump ahead to these sections:
Buddha Quotes on Living Fully
Buddha Quotes on Dying Well
Buddha Quotes on the Afterlife
However,
when you are looking to send the perfect words in a sympathy card or to
provide support, it can be hard to strike the right tone. You might
want to share them in person, or just tuck them into a card. Buddhism
however, has multifaceted approaches to life and death. The concept of
achieving enlightenment, of reincarnating in an afterlife… these are
just a few of these goals that people think about when living life as a
Buddhist.
If
you’re looking for quotes that encompass all of these elements—living
fully, and dying well, and embracing the afterlife that will greet
you—we’ve selected some great options.
Buddha Quotes on Living Fully
Achieving enlightenment is one of the primary goals of a Buddhist’s existence, and can come at any point in one’s life.
Buddhists
will say that it takes a long time to get there and cannot be achieved
without sincere dedication to meditating and connecting to nature. And
also to have patience, because the journey is part of a full life.
1.
“This one life has no form and is empty by nature. If you become
attached by any form, you should reject it. If you see an ego, a soul, a
birth, or a death, reject them all.”
The
concept of no form and emptiness is central to the way Buddhists view
life but can be really hard to embrace overall, as it runs counter to
our conventional way of thinking. It can be hard especially when someone
is grieving to remind them not to get attached to temporary things.
2.
“One clings to life although there is nothing to be called life;
another clings to death although there is nothing to be called death. In
reality, there is nothing to be born; consequently, there is nothing to
perish.”
It’s all about your perspective. If the world around you isn’t real, then death and loss can just be ways to interpret life.
3. “Life is suffering.”
Suffering
always sounds like the most awful thing ever, but the application of
this quote has more to do with the fact that no human is born without a
capacity to suffer.
If you consider that everyone and everything can suffer, this can be outright freeing to know and accept.
4.
“The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The
deed develops into habit, And habit hardens into character. So watch
the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love, Born
out of compassion for all human beings. As the shadow follows the body,
As we think, so we become.”
The most meaningful moments in your life might start with the tiniest interactions.
5.
“Just as the dawn is the forerunner of the arising of the sun, so true
friendship is the forerunner of the arising of the noble eightfold
path.”
Friends can define your entire life. And if you’re trying to achieve enlightenment, the people you touch along the way matters.
6. “The mind precedes all things, the mind dominates all things, the mind creates all things.”
In Western culture, the body is often paramount. Buddha’s take removes those pressures and focuses on what really matters.
7.
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of
the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being
shared.”
If you’re worried about losing a moment of happiness, sharing it can be the best way to keep it from disappearing.
8. “Without health, life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering an image of death.”
Health doesn’t just apply to physical wellness but also to value your mental and spiritual wellbeing.
9.
“Silence the angry man with love. Silence the ill-natured man with
kindness. Silence the miser with generosity. Silence the liar with
truth.”
Serving as an
antidote to someone else’s anger, miserliness, or lies can only be
achieved by being the best version of yourself.
10. “To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.”
Unraveling the mysteries of life and truth isn’t easy. That’s why Buddhist funerals focus on virtue and love.

Buddha Quotes on Dying Well
Reflecting
on your loved one can be done by lighting a candle for someone that
died. It gives you a chance to remember how they both lived and died
well.
11. “You too shall pass away. Knowing this, how can you quarrel?”
Conflict
can define our lives. Old feuds, old grudges…they not only hold you
back from a journey toward truth, but as this quote implies, they also
take up valuable time.
12. “Long is the cycle of birth and death to the fool who does not know the true path.”
If you’re spinning your wheels without any purpose in mind, it’s easy to feel like you’re going to die in vain.
13. “Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.”
Living wisely is a recipe for avoiding regrets. This is a perfect “rest in peace” quote for someone you admired.
14.
“To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of
life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.”
Living
diligently isn’t what you think. It might be raising your children
well, or committing to meditation or being kind to others.
15.
“On the air they rise and fly an invisible course, gathering nothing,
storing nothing… Joyous and clear like the lake, still as the stone at
the door, (they are) free from life and death.”
Observing
the natural order is an important part of Buddhism. Seeing how not all
creatures are tied to fear of death can be empowering.
16.
“This world is shrouded in darkness. Here, only a few can see their way
free. These few birds escape from the net, and fly away to the
heavens.”
Sharing this quote can be great in a sympathy card. Or, this could be used in an obituary or funeral announcement.
17.
“Those who consider the unessential to be essential, and see the
essential as unessential, don’t reach the essential, living in the field
of wrong intention.”
Getting your priorities straight is the most crucial part of making sure you both live and die well.
18.
“The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the
past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment
wisely and earnestly.”
You
can’t change past mistakes. And you certainly can’t predict the future.
Taking the time you have now in front of you is the best way to connect
with family and friends.
19.
“Let him associate with friends who are noble, energetic, and pure in
life, let him be cordial and refined in conduct. Thus, full of joy, he
will make an end of suffering.”
You often can’t choose whether you die or not. But you can choose how you go about it.
20.
“Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find
pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.”
Doing
good things for others is addictive. And if you want to be remembered,
it’s never too late to start with the tiniest things.

Buddha Quotes on the Afterlife
Books
about life after death suggest that reincarnation is one of the most
popular beliefs. That’s definitely true for Buddhism and can provide a
lot of hope for people about to pass away.
21.
“Our theories of the eternal are as valuable as are those that a chick
which has not broken its way through its shell might form of the outside
world.”
Buddhism is intentionally vague about the afterlife. It’s a chance to drift off into peaceful unknowns, without limitations.
22. “Whatever is not yours: let go of it. Your letting go of it will be for your long-term happiness and benefit.”
Letting go of your own fears is empowering, and makes the last stages of your life much easier.
23.
“Generosity brings happiness at every stage of its expression. We
experience joy in forming the intention to be generous. We experience
joy in the actual act of giving something. And we experience joy in
remembering the fact that we have given.”
Giving
to others doesn’t stop once you pass away. If you’ve started
end-of-life planning, it’s a great gift for your loved ones.
24. “There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”
It’s never too late to start on the road to truth. Your efforts matter, whenever you start them.
25.
“One who, while himself seeking happiness, oppresses with violence
other beings who also desire happiness, will not attain happiness
hereafter.”
The first rule of happiness is ‘first, do no harm.’
26.
“We will develop and cultivate the liberation of mind by
lovingkindness, make it our vehicle, make it our basis, stabilize it,
exercise ourselves in it, and fully perfect it.”
Achieving
liberation of the mind, from everyday life and struggles, is the point
of it all. This is the perfect quote for someone who made a point of
chasing lovingkindness.
27. “Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.”
When you’re in the afterlife or reincarnating in a new one, this ‘garland’ is the only thing you can leave behind.
28.
“Heedfulness is the path to the Deathless. Heedlessness is the path to
Death. The heedful die not. The heedless are as if dead already.”
If you’re mindful, of yourself and others and the greater spiritual world, you’re not really dying.
29.“But those who act according to the perfectly taught Dharma will cross the realm of Death, so difficult to cross.”
Crossing into death is always a little frightening. But if you’re ready, then Buddha promises it will become easier for you.
30.
“Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean nor by entering into mountain
clefts, nowhere in the world is there a place where one may not be
overcome by death.”
Death is an inevitable part of life. The reminder that every one faces it is a little comforting, for some.

Consoling Your Loved One
There’s
no magical recipe for consolation, especially in the face of death.
Taking the time out to pray or offer some sage words during a difficult
time can make all the difference.
