The Buddha said...
The Buddha said that we are never separated from enlightenment.
Even at the times we feel most stuck, we are never alienated from the awakened state. This is a revolutionary assertion. Even ordinary people like us with hangups and confusion have this mind of enlightenment called bodhicitta. The openness and warmth of bodhicitta is in fact our true nature and condition. - Pema Chödrön |

Greetings..
Many people say many things.. Buddha's words and Lao Tzu's words have the same source as the words written on the subway walls, tagged on building walls, and shouted in the Arab Spring.. Our "true nature" is the Life we live, right here and right now.. Be well.. |
All wrong-doing arises because of mind.
If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain? the Buddha |
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love;
this is the eternal rule. ~ |
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Eckhart Tolle? No, the Buddha |
You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. - Words of a fluffy New Ager? Guess again. |
The Buddha?
Wild guess. |
“Ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti” different enlightened persons speak about truth in different ways.
