Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• Our education is for the mind. Our ambitions, our desires, can only be fulfilled by the mind. You can become president of a country, prime minister, not by being meditative but by cultivating a very cunning mind. The whole education is geared by your parents, by your society, so that you can fulfill your desires, your ambitions. You want to become somebody. Meditation can only make you a nobody. Who wants to become a nobody? Everybody wants to go on higher on the ladder of ambitions. People sacrifice their whole life to become somebody. - Osho
   

• The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind. - Jaggi Vasudev
   

• To concentrate is not to meditate, even though that is what most of you do, calling it meditation. And if concentration is not meditation, then what is?

• The problem is not whether or not there is reincarnation, but the fact that we are all seeking permanency, security, here and hereafter. So long as the mind is seeking security in any direction, whether it be through name, family, position, virtue, or what you will, suffering must continue. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• To gain anything real, long practice is necessary. Try to accomplish very small things first.  - Gurdjieff
   

• It is our earth, not yours or mine of his. We are meant to live on it, helping each other, not destroying each other. This is not some romantic nonsense but the actual fact. But man has divided the earth, hoping thereby that in the particular he is going to find happiness, security, a sense of abiding comfort. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
