365 Buddha Quotes

“Like a beautiful brightly colored flower without fragrance Is the well-spoken word without action.   Like a beautiful brightly colored flower full of fragrance Is the well-spoken word and the deed that matches the word.   DHAMMAPADA 51-52”

“Wanting things to be different from what they are is suffering. Attraction and aversion, greed and hatred, lust and ill will: These are the attachments that cause suffering. “I like that; I want more”—“I dislike this; make it stop”: Letting go of these attachments is the end of suffering. Release from this unsatisfactory predicament is the goal of life, whether we are aware of it or not.”
