In the sixth century BC, about 2600 years ago, a prince called Siddhartha Gautama was born. As the young Prince grew up, he began to realize that his sheltered life as a prince could not protect him from suffering. Similarly, he started to understand that is privileged life could not provide the lasting happiness he was seeking. As a result, the young Prince decided to leave his family and his protected life in the palace. His manifold encounters with the world outside the palace began to teach him important lessons about life. Gradually, he began to gain important insights into the nature of suffering. As he became more adept at meditation, he eventually was able to enter a state of mind free from distractions. In this state of deep meditation, he found the lasting happiness he was seeking for. To share with you the valuable and wise lessons of the Buddha, we\u2019ve created the following collection of enlightening Buddha quotes and Buddha sayings.<\/p>\n

Throughout the course of his life, Gautama Buddha taught that all our struggles in life originate from the same source. According to him, our frustration, anger, anxiety, sadness, and depression all stem from the same root. According to Buddha, all these issues originate from being heavily attached to something. Consequently, by addressing the root source, helpful changes can be affected.<\/p>\n

“The universe itself is change and life itself is but what you deem it”
\nBuddha<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Siddhartha Gautama taught that being excessively attached to something leads to suffering. When we\u2019re too tightly attached to the outcome of a certain action, we may get frustrated when things come differently. When we\u2019re too attached to our possessions, we may anxiously fear that we could lose all of it one day. The same holds true for a variety of other areas of life. In short, when we\u2019re heavily attached to something, some form of discomfort or suffering may arise in our lives.<\/p>\n

The following Buddha quotes will show you what Siddhartha Gautama’s teachings were all about.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Therefore, by learning to reduce our attachment to things that don\u2019t really matter, we can gain a great level of freedom in life. Let\u2019s have a look at what else Siddhartha Gautama had to say about life, death, anger, and nonattachment.<\/p>\n

“A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!”

\nBuddha<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

132.<\/h3>\n

But, ancient wisdom has advocated a different timeless strategy to overcome hatred. This eternal wisdom is to meet hatred with non-hatred. The method of trying to conquer hatred through hatred never succeeds in overcoming hatred. But, the method of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective. That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.”

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the beast that draws the wagon… If a man speaks or acts with a good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
\nBuddha<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

143.<\/h3>\n

“So too, friend, purification of virtue is for the sake of reaching purification of mind; purification of mind is for the sake of reaching purification of view; purification of view is for the sake of reaching purification by overcoming doubt; purification by overcoming doubt is for the sake of reaching purification by knowledge and vision of what is the path and what is not the path; purification by knowledge and vision of what is the path and what is not the path is for the sake of reaching purification by knowledge and vision of the way; purification by knowledge and vision of the way is for the sake of reaching purification by knowledge and vision; purification by knowledge and vision is for the sake of reaching final Nibbana [Nirvana] without clinging. It is for the sake of final Nibbana without clinging that the holy life is lived under the Blessed One.”

Now, look you K\u0101l\u0101mas, do not be led by reports, or traditions, or hearsay. Be not led by the authority of religious texts, not by the delight in speculative opinions, nor by seeming possibilities, nor by the idea: ‘this is our teacher’.
