Your home is a sanctuary — a place to prioritize peace and love. Whether you participate in a spiritual practice like yoga, meditation, or moments of gratitude or are just looking for a gentle reminder of all the love that exists around you, sprinkling Buddhist art and decor throughout your home can help keep you centered.

Remembering the Buddha’s wisdom can help keep you inspired and remind you that your house is a home filled with love and gratitude. Anyone interested in spirituality in any form, whether they’re a Buddhist or not, can enjoy the Buddha quote on love and how to bring them into their home and daily practice.

Buddhist Thoughts on Love

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can, and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.” 

For centuries, the Buddha has been a beacon of wisdom in a chaotic world, and his words on love have remained true throughout the ages.  The Buddha believed that love is inside all of us, and through faith and spiritual practice, anyone could feel love and love others in return.

Traditional Western ideas about love say that it is something that others give to us. We see this in romcoms, songs on the radio, and in all kinds of books and poetry. Buddhists think of love a bit differently. It isn’t something you need to wait for or go looking for. They believe that true love and true happiness are inside of you and that cultivating a sense of self-love is the only way to achieve true happiness. 

​​“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

Buddhism is, at its core, a practice. There are acts you can take every day to dive further and further into the love you hold for yourself, others, and the world. Rituals like meditation, chanting, and yoga are a way to take a moment to recenter and connect with yourself. Showing compassion for others and taking part in shared goals and growth can strengthen your close ties and give you a sense of confidence. 

It’s also essential to cultivate a home where you can take the time to be grateful and indulge in the practices that help you feel and spread some love.

Our Favorite Buddha Quote on Love

“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”

This is one of our favorite quotes about love and how to fill your life with it. This quote has been widely attributed to the Buddha, and it perfectly sums up his philosophy on what makes a great life. 

This quote reminds us of the things that really matter and how to stay centered in a world so focused on material things. We’re encouraged to prioritize love in our lives and keep in mind the importance of loving deeply and wholly. It also speaks to the value of living gently, urging us to approach life with kindness, compassion, and mindfulness. Living gently means being considerate of others and the environments we find ourselves in, both physical and social.

The Budhha’s words remind us to gracefully let go of things that aren’t meant for us. In a world where we often put too much focus on achievements, relationships, or ideas that may not serve us, this wisdom teaches us the power of release. Letting go of what’s not meant for us will allow us to grow, evolve, and find inner peace.

In a world that champions material success and external achievements, we can take this quote to heart and focus on the inner qualities that lead to a fulfilling life. It encourages us to cultivate love, gentleness, and the ability to let go, guiding us toward a more meaningful and centered existence.
