11 Lessons From Gautama Buddha will change your life

Have you ever wondered why all the statues that you see of the Buddha show him as calm, cool and smiling? Well, because Gautam Buddha had found the secrets of life by discovering the harsh realities of life. He had his ego completely annihilated and found the beauty of present moments. To be calm and cool like him, you will have to take in a few of his observations about life. Here you go...

1.“Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaNo matter how much you try to conceal the truth, it will be known one day or the other. It’s foolish to cover up lies because the truth reveals itself in the most honest way.

 

 

 

2. “You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaAnger is a lethal weapon. Apart from slaying the enemy, it also slays you. When you’re angry, your words deceive you and they hurt others. Therefore, it’s advisable to remain silent and not speak when something annoys you.

 

 

 

3. "You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaWe often expect to receive love and affection from others. In that process, we start neglecting ourselves. We try too hard to get attention. However, we forget that loving one's own self comes before loving others. You cannot love selflessly, until and unless you understand yourself.

 

 

 

4. “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaThe message here is to think happy thoughts that will keep you happy throughout the day. Being optimistic is better than having negative thoughts. Seeing the glass half-full is a way better perspective than seeing the glass half empty.

 

 

 

5. “You only lose what you cling to.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaGetting attached to a thing is the biggest mistake we can make in our lives. It is when we get too dependent on it that we start losing it.

 

 

 

6. “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaIndeed an enlightening quote! Here, Buddha wants us to learn from our own experiences and not from the reviews of others. What suits one person may not necessarily suit another.

 

 

 

 

 

7. “Physical charms attract the eyes, goodness attracts the mind.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaGood looks are an asset - however, a good character is an identity. It’s completely wrong to judge someone only by their looks and not by their character.

 

 

 

8. “Just as on a rubbish heap swept up on a main road a purely fragrant, delightful lotus might there spring up, even so amidst those rubbish heaps (of men) does the savaka of the Perfectly Enlightened One outshine in insight the blind puthujjana”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaEven if you’re surrounded by filth, but you’re strong enough to resist the bad, you will grow like a lotus in a mud lake. If you’re a student, with hard work, you will outshine all other ordinary students.

 

 

 

9. “When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaBuddha teaches us the difference between love and lust. In love, you nurture a relationship. In lust, you only satisfy your physical needs.

 

 

 

10. “A jug fills drop by drop.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaStarting small is the mantra for finishing big. It doesn’t matter if your start is a small attempt. If you keep at it steadily, you will achieve what you want to one day.

 

 

 

11. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”

Lessons-From-Gautama-BuddhaLife is one big journey and you’re a traveller. It’s better to live and travel well, than thinking about the future and losing your peace of mind. Living the fullest in the present is the best way to enjoy life, rather than living in the past or the future.
