Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

By observing the world with a still mind, we see that after the waves subside, the sea returns to calm; after the storms have passed, the earth grows quiet; and after emotional turmoils fade, the human heart, too, finds tranquility. Having weathered life’s tempests, and tasted its many flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—we come to realize that the truest contentment lies in simplicity. — Master Zhisui

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

When you see your karmic body as vulnerable as a bubble, /
Realizing the truth of impermanence, and that in death you are helpless, /
Disabuse yourself of fantasies of eternity, /
Make your life a practice of sadhana, /
And cultivate the experience that takes you to the place where Ati ends. — Yeshe Tsogyal (fl. c. 8th century CE)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Accepting, giving up, letting go—this is the way of lightness. Wherever you’re clinging there’s becoming and birth right there. There’s danger right there. The Buddha taught about convention and he taught to undo convention in the right way, and so reach Liberation. — Ajahn Chah (1918–1992)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Nirvana is not a thing; nirvana is when you personally experience, and understand, and recognize that everything is void, or empty. Through the practice, you gradually come to experience that there is no real space or time that you can hold on to. So you can say that nirvana is the result of practice, but it is not a result of something changing into something else. — Master Sheng Yen (1931–2009)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Taisen Deshimaru (1914–1982)

Harmonizing opposites by going back to their source is the distinctive quality of the Zen attitude, the Middle Way: embracing contradictions, making a synthesis of them, achieving balance. — Taisen Deshimaru (1914–1982)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Living simply means, for instance, that the mug you use every day for coffee is a mug that you really like—one that you take good care of and that you use for a long time. Acquire only good things that will truly be needed. A lifestyle of simplicity is the fundamental practice that will hone the mind. — Shunmyō Masuno

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Whatever you are doing, look constantly into the mirror of your mind and check whether your motive is for yourself or for others. Gradually you will develop the ability to master your mind in all circumstances; and by following in the footsteps of the accomplished masters of the past, you will gain enlightenment in a single lifetime. -- Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche (1910–1991)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Qiyuan Xinggang (1597-1654)

A worn, patched robe hangs from my shoulders.
When hunger comes, I eat; when tired, I sleep.
Sitting firmly on a meditation mat, I completely forget the world,
as the sun and moon shift as they please by the window. — Qiyuan Xinggang (1597-1654)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Ajahn Sumedho

The whole aim of the Buddhist teaching is to develop the reflective mind in order to let go of delusions. The Four Noble Truths is a teaching about letting go by investigating or looking into — contemplating: "Why is it like this? Why is it this way?" — Ajahn Sumedho
