“Gowthama Buddha” He is a spiritual leader and teacher. He founded Buddhist religion

and he serves his life for it.

 

     His thoughts and words are enlightened by him. He had a great compassion for other people. He taught timeless and universal truth about personal and spiritual development.          

Three Buddha quotes are part of his teaching:

1)

"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

     He asking people to be in present and also to get aware of now. He believes that present moment is the entrance of the spiritual dimension of the person. He said, concentrating on the present will project us to keep looking forward to the future as well as looking at the past events or memories.

2) "If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.

     Buddha explain not only about the beauty but more about what flower represents, flower is the flowering of the plant, it is it's most advanced expression of what it can show, fulfilling his potential by transcending and getting to a new level of being. It represent enlightenment.

     Also Buddha talks about the possibility for us to get in touch with the flower directly, by REALLY seeing it. Seeing the life in it, the being, and getting one with it at that very moment.

 

3) "The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows."

     I always like this quote and I think it's really one of the deepest and most difficult to explain. From my understanding,listen to your inner voice to your own self because you’ll tend to know what is right and wrong.  Do not compromise and stay true to yourself.
