Buddha Blog
The Buddha denies the existence of any
permanent entity either physical or mental. We call this theory
about self as Anatmavada.
The Anatmavada Buddha Blog contains over 500 Buddhist quotes. You can select them by author, keyword or category.

By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on February 1st, 2016 Hundreds of stupid flies gather
On a piece of rotten meat,
Enjoying, they think, a delicious feast.
This image fits with the song
Of the myriads of foolish living beings
Who seek happiness in superficial pleasures;
In countless ways they try,
Yet I have never seen them satisfied.
The XIV Dalai Lama
By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on May 7th, 2013 Contrary to what some people might believe,
there is nothing wrong with having pleasures and enjoyments.
What is wrong is the confused way we grasp onto these pleasures,
turning them from a source of happiness into a source of pain and dissatisfaction
Thubten Yeshe
By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on February 23rd, 2012 Pain is not a punishment;
pleasure is not a reward.
Pema Chodron
By Anatmavada, Buddha Blog, on January 4th, 2012 I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice;
that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
I’m not talking about the short-term gratification of pleasures like
sex, drugs or gambling,
but something that will bring true and lasting happiness.
The kind that sticks.
The XIV Dalai Lama
