No matter how many waves may arise, they never depart from the ocean, even in the slightest. Similarly, whether still or in movement, the mind never departs from awareness or emptiness, even in the slightest.

We often seek to experience only the first half of the process of impermanence - wishing to live but not die; to gain but not to lose; to fall in love but not to break up. However, in order to enjoy true freedom we have to understand and accept the full cycle of impermanence and not hold on to the part that we like obstinately.
~ Ven. Shi Leqian
Pain and happiness are like two sides of a coin. A person who is able to distill happiness from painful experiences enjoys the highest form of happiness.
~ Ven. Shi Fazhao
Whoever is attached to a result for this life, is not a Dharma person.
The
purpose of Dharma is liberation, not feeling better in this life. The
purpose of Dharma is not the cultivation of mundane compassion, and so
on.
The purpose of Dharma is to control afflictions, then
overcome them, and finally, to attain a state of total omniscience and
freedom.
~ Loppon Namdrol
Easily seen are others' faults; hard indeed it is to see one's own fault.
It is not that something is wrong with the world, but something is wrong with us.
Thinking people have realised that the course of human history is determined not by what happens in the skies, but by what takes place in the hearts of men.
We can make use of this life for a better purpose by being service others, by cultivating morality, by training the mind and living as cultured men in peace and harmony with the rest of the world.
Julian Huxley said: Life should lead to the fufilment of innumerable possibilities - physical, mental, spiritual and so forth - What man is capble of. And humanity is capable of greater and nobler things.
Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live, giving up victory and defeat. ~ Buddha

"The world is given only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one."
~ Physicist Erwin Schrodinger
-Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.
- That which can be called the Tao ( The way ) is not the Eternal Tao. That which can be called the Name is not the eternal Name. Tao is both one and many; as One, it is the nameless root of heaven and miracle of Tao. A mind lost in its own desire, sees only the forms of this world. Tao and this world seem different, but in truth they are one and the same. The only difference is in the name we give them. How deep and mysterious this unity is. How profound, how great! It is the truth beyond the truth, the mystery beyond the mind. It is the path to all wonders, the gate to the ecstatic nature of everything! The whole world we travel with our thoughts, finding nowhere anyone as precious as one’s own self. Since every person is so precious to themselves, let the self-respecting harm no other being.
(Tao Te Ching)
- The Buddha said, “ To be attached to a certain view and to look down upon other views as inferior-this the wise call a fetter ( chain ).
Practice can be stated very simply. It is moving from a life of hurting myself and others to a life of not hurting myself and others. That seems so simple--except when we substitute for real practice some idea that we should be different or better than we are, or that our lives should be different from the way they are. When we substitute our ideas about what should be (such notions as "I should not be angry or confused or unwilling") for our life as it truly is, then we're off base and our practice is barren.

When we are feeling stressed out, would it be helpful for us to pray to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and recite their holy names? The answer is affirmative.
Reciting the Buddha's name is one of the simplest ways to calm the mind. When the mind is in a constant state of calm and peace, it would be able to clearly understand the true nature of all things. It would also not be distracted by thoughts and worries about the past.
~ Ven. Shi Fazhao
We do not enjoy clarity of mind because our minds are constantly discriminating and comparing, distorting our perception of the world.
