Buddhist Wisdom: Enlightenment Remains Forever

Buddhist Quotes: Enlightenment Remains Forever

Let a person be a light to himself and learn wisdom. When he is free from delusion, he will go beyond birth and death.

- Dhammapada

Buddhist Wisdom: Expand Your Understanding

Buddhist Quotes: Expand Your Understanding

Some people live closely guarded lives, fearful of encountering someone or something that might shatter their insecure spiritual foundation. This attitude, however, is not the fault of religion but of their own limited understanding. True Dharma leads in exactly the opposite direction. It enables one to integrate all the many diverse experiences of life into a meaningful and coherent whole, thereby banishing fear and insecurity completely.

Buddhist Wisdom: Guidance Doesn't Mean Lip-Flapping

Buddhist Quotes: Guidance Doesn't Mean Lip-Flapping

Those of superior faculties and great wisdom get the point right off the bat--guidance doesn't mean gum-beating and lip-flapping. Truly awakened people with clear eyes would just laugh.

The great masters of India and China only met mind to mind--from the first, there was never any "mind" to attain. But if you make a rationale of mindlessness, that is the same as having a certain mentality.

Buddhist Wisdom: Until I Attain Liberation

Buddhist Quotes: Until I Attain Liberation

May I likewise attain the cutting-off of

Craving and clinging.

Whatever faults I have until I attain

Liberation,

May they quickly perish. Wherever I

Am born, may there be

An upright mind, mindfulness

Wisdom, austerity and vigor.

May harmful influences not weaken my

Efforts.

The Buddha is the unexcelled

Protector, the Dharma is the

Supreme protection,

Peerless is the “Silent Buddha,” the

Sangha is my true refuge.

By the power of these Supreme Ones,

May I rise above all ignorance.

The texts can be categorized in a number of ways, but the most fundamental division is that between canonical and non-canonical texts.

Buddhist Wisdom: Buddha Consciousness - Become a Witness

Detachment is not indifference or lack of love. In fact, it is real love because it is not related to appearance. Witness has no attachment and hence no detachment is needed. Ego has attachment therefore detachment has to be developed.This article is Ean excerption from Mind the Gap. The writer, Sukshmananda Swami, is a disciple of Sri Narayana Guru.

Buddhist Wisdom: Why Don't We Have Time to Meditate?

Buddhist Quotes: Why Don't We Have Time to Meditate?

If we have...presence of mind then whatever work we do will be the very tool which enables us to know right and wrong continually. There's plenty of time to meditate, we just don't fully understand the practice, that's all. While sleeping we breathe, eating we breathe, don't we? Why don't we have time to meditate? Wherever we are we breathe. If we think like this then our life has as much value as our breath, wherever we are we have time.

- Ajahn Chah, "Taste of Freedom"

Buddhist Wisdom: An Antidote to Self-Grasping

Buddhist Quotes: An Antidote to Self-Grasping

Anything that acts as an antidote to self-grasping is Dharma practice. Whereas, even though we may engage in a great variety of practices that may appear to be spiritual, if they do not act to destroy our self-grasping, they are not Dharma practice.
