Buddhist Wisdoms: 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.

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 Wisdoms: 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.
