BUDDHIST WISDOM

[Pravin Kumar]

Drinking the Dhamma, refreshed by the Dhamma, one sleeps at ease with clear awareness & calm. In the Dhamma revealed by the noble ones, the wise person always delights.

- Dhammapada, 6, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

Fulfillment of desire is an illusion; desire leads to more desire, not satisfaction.

- Kathleen McDonald, "How to Meditate"

It's better to leave a misdeed undone. A misdeed burns you afterward. Better that a good deed be done that, after you've done it, won't make you burn.

- Dhammapada, 22, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

For the one who has no inner, angry thoughts, Who has gone past being a someone, a this or a that, That one is free from fear and is blissful. Even the gods cannot win such serenity.

- Udana Sutta


When desires go, joy comes. The follower of Buddha finds this truth.

- The Buddha

Buddha isnt found by searching. Look at the characteristic of your mind.
