Rare Buddhist Quotes

Let distractions melt away

like clouds disappearing in the sky.

The  world  is  merely  mind's  own play.

It  is  better  to  light  a candle  than  to  curse  the darkness.

When murky water becomes clear

​

its transparency does not arise from elsewhere

​

But is just it's becoming free from pollution

​

the same goes for the purity of your mind

If a problem has a solution

then there is no need of worrying.

And if the problem has no solution

then there is no use of worrying.

​

 

Used  well, this  body  is  our  raft to  freedom.

​

Used  badly, this  body  anchors us  to samsara.

​

This body does the bidding of both good and evil.

Do not take lightly small misdeeds,

Believing they can do no harm

Even a tiny spark of fire

Can set alight a mountain of hay.

Words have no arrows nor swords,

 

yet they tear men's minds to pieces

    How could we practice patience

 if there were no-one who made us angry?
