Buddha

If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.

Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.

Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.

The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.

I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.

A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir – a constant source of energy, determination and kindness.

God almighty first planted a garden: and, indeed, it is the purest of human pleasure.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

I have a bit of supernatural take on life. For a moment, I went over to the other side. Since then, I can feel the presence of the departed. I’m very sensitive to it.

A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.

When you hear that all beings are Buddha, don’t fall into the error of thinking there’s more than one Buddha.

Great morning!! Dear God, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for EVERYTHING! Especially my healthy baby girl!

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize in our own being, we are enough.

What you possess, you lose.

I’m a bit superstitious about certain things, like what shoes to wear. If I wear the wrong shoes, the whole day may go wrong. Or if I don’t get to the bottom of the stairs before the door closes – stupid little things like that. Then I also have all the normal ones, like don’t walking under ladders and so on.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.

Tao in the world is like a river flowing home to the sea.
