Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

I am a finger pointing to the moon. Don't look at me; look at the moon. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Bodhidharma

To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings. — Bodhidharma

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Leo Tolstoy

So those are the direct answers human wisdom gives when it answers the question of life. "The life of the body is evil and a lie. And therefore the destruction of this life of the body is something good, and we must desire it," says Socrates. "Life is that which ought not be - an evil - and the going into nothingness is the sole good of life," says Schopenhauer. "Everything in the world - folly and wisdom and riches and poverty and happiness and grief - all is vanity and nonsense. Man will die and nothing will remain. And that is foolish," says Solomon. "One must not live with awareness of the inevitability of suffering, weakness, old age, and death - one must free oneself from life, from all possibility of life," says Buddha. And what these powerful intellects said was said and thought and felt by millions and millions of people like them. And I too thought and felt that. — Leo Tolstoy

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Abhijit Naskar

The religion that I advocate, and so did the mortal humans known as Jesus, Buddha and Nanak, is the religion of love, compassion and self-realization. — Abhijit Naskar

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Bodhidharma

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either. — Bodhidharma

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Chet Raymo

I am a cautious pilgrim of the night, a tentative wanderer among the stars. My awareness of my home in the universe is fleeting and incomplete. Into the homeless home of the sun-faced buddha I have stepped but briefly. My quest, such as it is, is rewarded with faint lights and scrawny cries, a trait here and trait there, a hint of the infinite and a tingle in the spine. Of "minute particulars" I will make my way. — Chet Raymo

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

Live in this world, because this world gives a ripening, maturity, integrity. The challenges of this world give you a centering, an awareness. And that awareness becomes the ladder. Then you can move from Zorba to Buddha. — Rajneesh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Mark Epstein

In mindfulness meditation, the self that needs protection is put into neutral. The observing self slips into the space between the ego and the dissociated aspects of the personality and observes from there. The breath, or sound, becomes the central object of focus, as opposed to thought. Thinking becomes one more thing to observe in the field of awareness but is robbed of its preeminent position. Do not grasp after the pleasant or push away the unpleasant, but give equal attention to everything there is to observe, taught the Buddha. This is difficult at first but becomes remarkably easy once one gets the hang of it. One learns first to bring one's attention to the neutral object and then to relax into a state of choiceless awareness rather than always trying to maintain control. As the ego's position is weakened, waking life takes on aspects of dream life to the extent that new surprises keep unexpectedly emerging. — Mark Epstein

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

How can one ever know anything if they are too busy thinking? — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

People are living in unconsciousness, doing all kinds of things in unconsciousness. Everybody is an unconscious robot. We are just pretending that we are conscious; we are not conscious. The moment you become conscious, all unconscious actions disappear from your life. Your life starts moving in a new dimension. Your each act comes out of inner clarity; your each response is virtuous, is virtue. To live unconsciously is to live in sin; to live consciously is to be virtuous, is to be religious. And to live in total awareness is to be a buddha, is to be a christ. — Rajneesh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Sogyal Rinpoche

We and all sentient beings fundamentally have the buddha nature as our innermost essence ... — Sogyal Rinpoche

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

By thinking you cannot decide. It is not a question of deciding as a logical conclusion, it is a question of choiceless awareness. You need a mind without thoughts. In other words, you need a no-mind, just a pure silence, so you can see directly into things. And out of that clarity will come the choice on its own; you are not choosing. You will act just as a buddha acts. Your action will have beauty, your action will have truth, your action will have the fragrance of the divine. There is no need for you to choose. — Rajneesh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Mark Epstein

The Buddha, in recovering his capacity for nonsensual joy, learned that this joy was limitless. He found that if he got himself out of the way, his joy completely suffused his mindful awareness. This gave him the confidence, the stability, the trust, and the means to see clearly whatever presented itself to his mind. In the curious bifurcation of consciousness that meditation develops, where we can be both observer and that which is being observed, the quality of joy that he recovered did not remain an internal object. It was not only a memory or merely a feeling to be observed; it was also a quality of mind that could accompany every moment of mindfulness. The more he accepted the presence of this feeling and the more it toggled between being object and subject, the closer the Buddha came to understanding his true nature. — Mark Epstein

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Paul Fleischman

Mindfulness, as defined by the Buddha, means awareness of incessant change, of arising and vanishing, inside of your own body, which is the ultimate reality of your own life. — Paul Fleischman

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

To have everything is to possess nothing. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

Remember the word bodhichitta, because Atisha says the whole effort of religion, the whole science of religion, is nothing but an endeavor to create bodhichitta, buddha-consciousness: a mind which functions as a no-mind, a mind which dreams no more, thinks no more, a mind which is just awareness, pure awareness. — Rajneesh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Dogen

If we seek the Buddha outside the mind, the Buddha changes into a devil. — Dogen

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Uniconsciousess is a consciousness and awareness that everything, everyone, every beauty, every life, and every thought arises from the same thing. We are one. We are different expressions of one. — Debasish Mridha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Bring your mind to noble silence. Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence ... Enter into rapture and pleasure born of silence derived of concentration and awareness that is free from thought and fabrication. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Philip K. Dick

I did not tell Fat this, but technically he had become a Buddha. It did not seem to me like a good idea to let him know. After all, if you are a Buddha you should be able to figure it out for yourself. — Philip K. Dick

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Bankei Yotaku

An enlightened awareness is within each one of us, right at this moment.
This enlightened awareness is truly unborn and marvellously illuminating; and everything is perfectly managed by it.
Conclusively realise that what is unborn and illuminating is truly awakened and without effort,
rest naturally as the Unborn Mind.
Resting in this way, you are a living Buddha. — Bankei Yotaku

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Stephen Batchelor

The Buddha described his teaching as "going against the stream." The unflinching light of mindful awareness reveals the extent to which we are tossed along in the stream of past conditioning and habit. The moment we decide to stop and look at what is going on (like a swimmer suddenly changing course to swim upstream instead of downstream), we find ourselves battered by powerful currents we had never even suspected - precisely because until that moment we were largely living at their command. — Stephen Batchelor

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Susan Jeffers

As your awareness of the riches available to you in your everyday life grows, you are on the way to becoming the laughing Buddha. Life is joyous. Life is Light. Life is happy. You are awake at last. — Susan Jeffers

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Be the witness of your thoughts. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

One of the names of Buddha is TATHAGATA - one who lives in suchness, one who has become free from all the distractions of the mind. And the miracle is that the mind consists only of distraction, so once you are free of all distractions there is no mind left. In the present there is no mind. In the present there is only consciousness, awareness, watchfulness. — Rajneesh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Nhat Hanh

If you find yourself in some difficulty, step aside, and allow Buddha to take your place. The Buddha is in you. — Nhat Hanh

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Gautama Buddha

Whatever a monk keeps pursuing with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his awareness. — Gautama Buddha

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Rajneesh

A Buddha is not a man of concentration, he is a man of awareness. He has not been trying to narrow down his consciousness; on the contrary, he has been trying to drop all barriers so that he becomes totally available to existence. Watch ... existence is simultaneous. I am speaking here and the traffic noise is simultaneous. The train, the birds the wind blowing through the trees - in this moment the whole of existence converges. You listening to me, I speaking to you, and millions of things going on - it is tremendously rich. — Rajneesh

Through Christ and Maria, Shiva and Shakti, Krishna and Radha, With every day that passes and every breath I take. I enter gratitude for receiving Your Love. Obeying Your Laws of Truthfulness and Ahimsa, Weaving Prana With hearts and souls of Gaia. Through mysticism, shamanism, sufism, and ecstatic meditations.

Awareness Buddha Quotes By Nhat Hanh

In Buddhism, there are three gems: Buddha, the awakened one; Dharma,
the way of understanding and loving; and Sangha, the community that
lives in harmony and awareness. The three are interrelated, and at
times it is hard to distinguish one from another. In everyone there
is the capacity to wake up, to understand, and to love. So in
ourselves we find Buddha, and we also find Dharma and Sangha. — Nhat Hanh
