Buddha Purnima

•      Celebrates the birthday of Gautam Buddha.

•      Also called Buddha Birthday, Buddha Purnima, and Buddha Jayanti.

•      The public holiday for Buddha Purnima in India was initiated by Dr B. R. Ambedkar ji, when he was the Minister of Law and Justice.

•      Also known as Ninth avatar of Lord Vishnu ji.

•      We bring you quotes from the collection of Buddha’s teachings that will help you to attain a new perspective to peace, a state of well being and help you free yourself from the incarcerations of life:

1)                  Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without;

2)                  Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace;

3)                  Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it;

4)                  Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present movement;

5)                  In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you;

6)                  When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky;

7)                  All that we all are is the result of what we thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become;

8)                  As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are. Otherwise you will miss most of your life; 

9)                  You are the community now. Be a lamp for yourself. Be your own refuge. Seek for no other. All things must pass. Strive on diligently. Do not give up;

10)             It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways;

11)             The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed;

12)             No one saves you but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path;

13)  However, many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

 14)  Physical charms attract the eyes, goodness attracts the mind. 

15)  Doubt everything, find your own light.
