Wisdom Of The Buddha - Best Quotations Of Buddha

Snow in the summer by Sayadaw U Jotika

Loneliness does not come from having no-one around oneself,but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views that others find inadmissible.

If a man knows more than other people, he becomes lonely. But loneliness is not necessarily inimical to companionship, for no-one is more sensitive to companionship than the lonely man, and companionship thrives only when each individual remembers his/her inidividualty and does not identify him/herself with others.

I don't want judgement; I want understanding. I am also not perfect.

I'm also a human being.I'm not trying to be somebody. I just try my best to understand whatever is happening in my life, in my mind, in my heart, No name and no fame; when i die nothing will remain.

If you can be mindful when you are sick you will learn something very deep and meaningful. You will see how lonely you are and how meaningless everything is. When the worst of the worst happens we will be really alone.

When you think it is impossible to be mindful, that is the time when it is most important to be mindful.

If you understand your mind, most of your problems will disappear because most of the problem are mind-made -- they have no reality outside your mind.

The mind is a great magician: It creates suffering and it suffers; it creates pleasure and it enjoys; it is bitten by a snake which is its own creation and suffers the effect of the poison.

Do not distrub yourself by thinking the whole of yourlife.

The Present by Spencer Johnson

"The most valuable present in your life is the present"

Be in the present
When u want to be happy and successful
Focus on what is right now
Use ur purpose to respond
To what is important now

Learn from the past
When u want to make the present better than the past
Look at what happened in the past
Learn something valuable from it
Do things differently in the present

Plan for the future
When u want to make the future better than the present
See what a wonderful future would look like
Make plans to help it happen
Put ur plan into action in the present
*................................................................................*
Some other valuable words
From the present

Success is something we all define for ourselves at different stages of ourlives.
Success is progressing toward whatever u think is important

The more u look at what is wrong the less energy n confidence u have.
So,when u find urself in the bad situation,it's very important to look for wat is right.even if it is hard
to find.Then appreciate it and bulid on it.

Wat if the present is very painful,like experiencing the loss of a loved one ?
It is important to experience painful situations and learn from them rather than try to distract urself with something else.
Pain in the present,like everything else,is constantly changing.It will come and go.
When u stay fully in the present and have felt the pain,and feel drained by it,u can begin to look for what is right,and bulid on it.
Begun to appreciate what is waiting out there for u to discover.

It is hard to let go of the past if u have not learned from the past.
As soon as u learn and let go u improve the present

No one can predict or control the future
However the more u plan for wat u want to see happen the less anxious u are in the present
and the more the future is knwon to u.
The importand thing is to do something every day,even if u think it is a small thing,to help make that
wonderful future happen.
*..........................................................................*
if u find it useful for u and worth for u then wish u can share with others too ...
"Every moment is another chance,so waiting for the chances is loosing ur chances!"

Buddha Or God ???

I'm Not A God Not I Believe In God. I'm A Perfected Human Being,Who Believes In Man.

Buddha Is Not A God Nor He Believed In God!

What does "buddha" mean?

Buddha is often misunderstood as the name of an historical figure from India; but this is not the case. Buddha is a principle, not a person. Buddha actually means "awake." When asked, "Are you a god?" Gautama, the person who became a buddha way back when in India replied, "No." "Then what are you?" the man asked again. Gautama's answer was, "I am awake."

Nowadays many statues of buddhas are common, and they can easily be mistaken as signs of polytheism. But all these images are not portraits of superheroes each with their own "superpersonality" that exist somewhere out of this atmosphere, deigning to involve themselves selectively in the affairs of this world. Rather, they are symbolic presentations of qualities of "awakeness."

But "awakeness" only means something in relation to its opposite: "asleepness." It seems Gautama was using this analogy as a way to touch upon the experience of knowing what a dream is. When we wake up in the same bed we remember laying down in hours before, we decide that everything previous was a kind of hallucination. This decision actually changes the context of everything that happened to us while we were dreaming, no matter how drastic, dramatic, horrific or beatific. All of a sudden, we somehow discover a kind of perspective.

Here's an example. A woman who has never been pregnant wakes from a dream of giving birth to a stillborn child, and the sorrow she felt all of a sudden changes from being so real to seeming so real. And her recognition is not something someone else decided for her, it is a conclusion based on her own recognizance. This also seems to be another fundamental aspect of what we could describe as "awakeness:" it is not manufactured through effort or through a formula, but through a completely personal and thorough deep inquiry.

If we were to really try and describe "awakeness," how would we start? We might start by describing it in three ways: clarity, luminosity and openness. But within these three aspects there also seems to be an endless flow of nuances to our experience; like a single light that hits a prism to refract into the spectrum of a rainbow. These nuances are the various qualities of our inner world and outer world, our thoughts and sensations as well as the sense objects that we encounter.

Like the rainbow and these nuances, the variety of buddhas appear to us like various reflections we might see in a true mirror, one that is completely clean with us gazing bright and wide eyed. Depending on who we think we are or what is going on with us at the time, we will probably recognize certain qualities in our reflection; we will notice different things about ourselves. After all, there are many to choose from no matter how often we decide to look. This is the principle involved in representations of buddhas: as the human experience is infinitely nuanced, there are numerous images, implements, colors, faces, heads and arms that appear in the iconography. But although the qualities might accentuate different aspects of awakeness, the images are all just that: a variety of expressions of the true nature of every sentient being.
