Guatama Buddha Quotes on Man (13 Quotes)


    Because he has pity on every living creature, therefore is a man called 'holy'.

    A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering.

    Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison.

    If a man possesses a repentant spirit his sins will disappear, but if he has an unrepentant spirit his sins will continue and condemn him for their sake forever.

    When a man has pity on all living creatures then only is he noble.


    Though through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.

    If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.

    Through zeal knowledge is gotten, through lack of zeal knowledge is lost let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.

    When a wise man is advised of his errors, he will reflect on and improve his conduct. When his misconduct is pointed out, a foolish man will not only disregard the advice but rather repeat the same error.

    When a man venerates those worthy of veneration, be they Buddhas or their disciples, who have transcended all obstacles and passed beyond sorrow and tears venerating such as these, whose passions are extinguished and for whom there is no further source for fear, no one can calculate how great his merit is.

    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.

    Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.

    A victor only breeds hatred, while a defeated man lives in misery, but a man at peace within lives happily, abandoning up ideas of victory and defeat.
