To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching.
More Quotes from Guatama Buddha:
A fool acquires knowledge only to his own disadvantage. It destroys what good he has, and turns his brains.Guatama Buddha
Hatred does not cease through hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.
Guatama Buddha
The Tempter masters the lazy and irresolute man who dwells on the attractive side of things, ungoverned in his senses, and unrestrained in his food, like the wind overcomes a rotten tree. But the Tempter cannot master a man who dwells on the distasteful side of things, self-controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, resolute and full of faith, like the wind cannot move a mountain crag.
Guatama Buddha
The good renounce everything. The pure don't babble about sensual desires. Whether touched by pleasure or pain, the wise show no change of temper.
Guatama Buddha
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Guatama Buddha
