Buddha Quote 2020 - Inspirational Buddha's Thoughts -Buddha’s says loving-kindness just as a mother would protect her son her only son with her own life so one should develop toward all beings a state of mind without boundaries and toward the whole world, one should develop kindness a state of mind without boundaries above below and across unconformity without adversaries so the practice of developing this mind of loving-kindness is trying to instigate in ourselves.

An emotion then we can think of as similar to an emotion of a mother towards her only child and try to expand that emotion towards everything boundlessly that is to say normally we might do this in a way that a that is bounded in other words we'll say I will extend it towards certain people but not towards others we'll put a boundary around others we'll extend it towards our family and friends.

Let's say but not towards people from that country or people from that state or people from that city or people with those beliefs that's the way we standardly tend to think of this kind of emotional state and what the Buddha is suggesting is that we expand this emotional state boundlessly and he repeats that it's a boundless state it's a state without boundaries where we're not making enemies of anybody at least in our minds at least that's the practice we're trying our best not to think of anybody as an enemy.

This is a very profound I think and deep practice and difficult of course it's very difficult for us to even begin the practice much less completed but its one that I think has great benefits along

Buddha Quotes 2020

 Another buddha says that sort of a long one but it's a very very famous one his his his discussion with the Calamos about how we should know about the world calamus being a group of people.

He went to give a talk to who was very confused about what they should believe in what they shouldn't believe because all kinds of people coming through their territory and telling them different things and so the Buddha says to them come calamus do not go by oral tradition by the lineage of teaching by hearsay by a collection of scriptures by logical reasoning inferential reasoning reasoned cognition by the acceptance of a view after pondering it these are all of the course ways that one can accept a view.

By the seeming competence of a speaker because you think this aesthetic as our guru our teacher but when you know for yourselves these things are wholesome these things are blameless these things are praised by the wise these things if accepted and undertaken lead to welfare and happiness then you should live in accordance with them.

Besides, there's a lot here I can't go into all of it because this is just I'm just talking about quotes here but in basic what he's saying is we shouldn't simply go by tradition or you know we shouldn't believe things only based on tradition or only based on somebody's say-so or simply because somebody happens to be our teacher instead we should always investigate teachings for ourselves in our own lives and see if they lead to our own welfare and happiness.

The welfare and happiness, of course, the people around us and ask ourselves are these the kind of teachings that the wise that we who people we consider wise would approve of or are they the kinds of teachings they wouldn't and by keeping these in mind I think we can go a long way towards overcoming some questionable teachings that we may hear from some people.

Moreover, Buddha says this is a very famous one very central to Buddhist thinking all conditioned things are impermanent when one sees this with wisdom one turns away from suffering this is the path to purification and this highlights the central place of impermanence within the Buddhist worldview that we notice through just through looking around for opening our eyes and our ears and looking around and paying attention that all things are impermanent so that kind of awareness of the impermanence of things should lead our mind in certain directions towards seeing certain kinds of actions and activities.

 However, mine states as being wise and others as being less wise our ninth Buddha quote be your own Island your own refuge with no other refuge let the teaching be your island and your refuge with no other refuge and this is something that the Buddha is reported to have said soon before he died he may have said at other times as well but he said at that time, in particular, which highlights.

I think the importance of this particular teaching. we can't really rely upon others to do the work for us we should have ourselves as our refuge in our island we should have course have the Dharma as a refuge as well that is the teaching that helps us to see the way forward that helps us to understand the kind of path that we ought to be on towards wisdom and towards a better, a wiser kinder and less stress-filled life.

Finally, Buddha says quote and this is from the Dhammapada you yourselves must strive the Buddha's only point the way the Buddha's where we can understand as the people who have a teemed attained awakening or in a more broad sense the wise people and there are some people who are wise whether or not they've attained awakening there are certain people who are wiser than we are but they can only point the way they can't do the work for us.

We have to do the practice we have to sit down on our cushions or our chairs do the meditation practice and do the other kinds of thought and action practices that are recommended by wise wise teachers like the Buddha and while some people may include let's say devotional practices within those they may include kinds of Prayer within those certainly those these kinds of devotional or prayer practices did occur in later forms of Buddhism they certainly occur in other religions but at the end of the day these according to the Buddha anyway these are not magical in other words we can do devotions but at the end of the day, we have to do the work ourselves.

It's not that other beings will do the work for us if we're devotional it may be that the devotion itself is a kind of practice that helps us let's say to break down the ego and so on but then the practice is the devotion not that something will help us magically and the same with prayer now there's a great contemporary Buddhist teacher named Bodhi Paksha who talks about fake Buddha quotes and he has a website where he comes up with the finds Buddha quotes or at least claimed Buddha quotes from around the web or around wherever he can find them and if they're accurate he will put them there and discuss them discuss why they aren't accurate and 

Buddha said any of these things and at the end of the day, we can never know for sure because the Buddha, of course, lived 2,500 years ago when he gave his discourses they were then remembered by his students his monastics the monastics then memorized them they then continued that sort of memorization oral tradition for probably over a century may be over two centuries before they were really written down.
