BUDDHIST WORDS OF WISDOM ABOUT A MEANINGFUL LIFE AND HEART TOUCHING

Never get tired of doing small things for others sometimes these little things can give beautiful happiness in their hearts

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, namely love, compassion and forgiveness The important thing is that they should be a part of our daily life

Karma grows from our heart
Karma ends from our heart

The self is a refuge for oneself, who can be used as a refuge? By training oneself earnestly, one will get the protection that is hard to find

By oneself an evil deed is done, born and created by yourself.
Evil can erode the unwise like a diamond that can scrape a hard gemstone

It's really easy to do bad things that harm yourself but it is really difficult to do good deeds that will benefit oneself

If a person loves himself, then he must take good care of himself.
a wise man is always alert during his life

Thoughts are the source of happiness and unhappiness

Everything that is based on good will, will definitely bring happiness and all that is based on the will of evil, will surely result in suffering

Better than a thousand bullshit is one word that brings peace

The water is not always clear, neither do my words. Cotton isn't always white, neither is my heart. The sky is not always blue, neither is my life. the path is not always straight, neither are my steps. Only dhamma always, when practiced will bring liberation

Everything that is conditioned is impermanent. if one sees this wisely, one will be free from suffering

What people do to you is their karma. what you retaliate against them, it is your karma.

Man is a product of his mind. he will become what he thinks.

if the mind is ruled by hatred, the best part of the brain, which is used to judge right and wrong, is not functioning properly.

When one has faith in the Tathagata, unshakable and established, and good conduct founded on morality, will be cherished by great men and praised.

When one has faith in the sangha, and corrected view, they say that this man is not poor, that he has not lived in vain.

Therefore one who has intelligence, remembering the teachings of the Buddha, should devote oneself to faith and morality, to faith and understanding of the Dhamma.

The secret of health for mind and body is not mourning the past, not worrying about the future, nor anticipating problems, but rather live the moment wisely and patiently.

Kindness should be rewarded with kindness. Evil should not be answered evil. It's not that there's no retaliation, just that it's not time yet. The law of karma is eternal.

The stupid man is like a cow, he grows in size, not in wisdom.

You can run from your mistakes, but not from your regrets. You can play with your drama, but not with your karma.

Only the ignorant and the lazy have taints in deed, speech, and thought.

Must appreciate the people who are by our side, the same as appreciating the jewelry that is in our bodies. Every moment while still there, do not feel so precious and valuable that person. once it's gone, it's a shame.
Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to you and others.

No matter how hard your past life was, you can always start over.

Do not slander, do not attack, live in discipline and self-control according to the simple rules of eating. sleeping and when sitting alone, always thinking noble things are conscious teachings.

When we want happiness and luck in this life, then cultivate kindness, honesty. so that happiness and luck will come by itself.

The way out of dissatisfaction is the liberation of the mind through sharing in the joy of the happiness of others.

Having knowledge and skills well-trained in etiquette, being gracious in speech, that is the main blessing.

When we feel we have given love and kindness to others, it not only makes others feel loved and at peace, but helps us also to find inner happiness and peace.

A wise person is one who successfully fights evil forces and greed while giving

With the cessation of desire, he is liberated.
When the mind is free, comes knowledge.

The basic principle of the law of karma is whoever sows then he will reap the results, whether the results are good or bad.

Treat other creatures the way you want to be treated.

Watch your thoughts, for they will become your words. Watch your words, for they will become your deeds. Watch your actions, for they will become your habits. Watch your habits, because they will become your character. Take care of your character, because it will shape your destiny. Your destiny or karma starts from your thoughts.

In all honesty I always thought budism is the closest to truth. In someways its just way of life. Focused on improving inner self over giving your power away to invisible Gods. Thank you for the post, reminded my self to do a small good deed today.

You know there is so many of us so busy in life and cant even stop and smile or say hi to a stranger be it on the street. When i go to store or elsewhere, i look into peoples eyes and try to smile its like on a subliminal level they know world is shit and acknowledge back tat something has to be done with a smile that everything will be alright. Happy to see that there is another person that actually smiled. Side note, only 5% ware mask in my area so we get to enjoy looking at face expressions. Or some kind words here and there, brings peoples moods up. We are all in this mess, might as well make best of it. Lightning up a candle in my heart is always welcomed. I will try to share the candle and hope others light up as well.
