Additional quotes by The Buddha

Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day’s life of one who is wise and meditative.

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.

Nenhum filósofo querelante poderá alcançar a pureza por meio de sua doutrina pessoal; ele segue uma luz que ele próprio fabricou, por ele autoprojetada, e daí dizer que e a ''vê''. O verdadeiro brâmane está além do tempo, não se baseia em conceito algum, nem se submete a qualquer seita; compreende todas as teorias correntes, mantendo-se, porém, desapegado de qualquer delas. Liberto dos laços do mundo, embora viva no mundo, segue o sábio, tranquilo,o seu caminho; livre de seitas, em meio aos sectários, livre de agitações, em meio aos agitados, admitindo o que o mundo comete (...) Liberto de todos os conceitos baseados nas coisas vistas e ouvidas, aliviado, pois, de sua carga, não mais está o sábio tranquilo sujeito ao tempo, transcendendo tanto o desejo, quanto a abstinência.
