Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• The moment you become a Christian or a Hindu or a Mohammedan, you have destroyed yourself utterly. Now there is no hope for you; you have lost track of your individual, original destiny. At the most you can now be a beautiful carbon copy, but never the original. And without being the original there is no satisfaction, no contentment, no joy, no fulfillment, no feeling that life has been meaningful, that life has been a celebration. On the contrary, there is a feeling of despair, anguish, boredom, meaninglessness and a feeling of continuous suffocation. - Osho
   

• Being aware of awareness itself,
  only consciousness can get you there
  to the truth of yourself
  the immortal inner being - Swami Rajneesh
   

• Gratitude is the quality of a religious man, and in that gratitude, by and by one starts tasting what nirvana is. Nirvana is cessation of the ego -- and when the ego ceases, god enters; when the host is no more there, then the guest comes. - Osho
   

• Merely sitting in front of a picture or repeating phrases is not meditation. Meditation is a part of relationship; it is seeing the process of thought in the mirror of relationship. Meditation is not subjugation but understanding the whole process of thinking. Then thought comes to an end, and only in that ending is there the beginning of understanding. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• God is very patient with you. He goes on giving you more opportunities. He has compassion. If you have missed this life, he will give you another. If you have failed this time, for another session you will be sent back to the world. Unless you fulfill the goal, you will be sent back again and again. That is the meaning of the theory of rebirth. - Osho
   

• If you have a habit, the habit of snobbishness for instance, it is no good merely to overcome this habit by another, its opposite. It is futile to fight one habit by another habit. What rids the mind of habit is intelligence. Awareness is the process of awakening intelligence, not creating new habits to fight the old ones. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• Do not be affected by externals. In themselves they are harmless; it is we who allow ourselves to be hurt by them. - Gurdjieff
   

• The understanding, the way of penetration, how to go very, very deeply, lies through awareness—just to be aware of our thoughts and feelings, without condemnation, without comparison, just to observe. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
