Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Jetsun Milarepa (c. 1052–c. 1135)

I remember appearances are examples of impermanence. I see sense pleasures to be like a mirage. I look at this life like a dream or illusion And cultivate compassion for those who don’t realize this. — Jetsun Milarepa (c. 1052–c. 1135)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

The faults of others are easy to see but the faults of our own are difficult to recognize. If one sees that he has a fault he must realize that the fault must be very grave indeed for him to recognize it himself, thus, he must take steps to correct his fault. Because it is difficult for us to see many of our faults we should listen to the advice of others. — Rennyo Shōnin (1415–1499)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Patrul Rinpoche (1808–1887)

I claim to be arousing bodhicitta, but still do not have it. I have trained in the path of the six perfections, but have remained selfish. Bless me and small-minded beings like me, That we may train in the sublime bodhicitta. — Patrul Rinpoche (1808–1887)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

To end suffering—not only by relieving its symptoms but by eradicating its root cause—is precisely the aim of the Buddha’s teaching. We must first realize that the true cause of suffering is not outside, but inside. That is why true spiritual practice consists of working on one’s own mind. — Nyoshül Khenpo Rinpoche (1932–1999)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Ajahn Pasanno

Loving-kindness can’t be separated from the Dhamma or anything else. Those qualities of letting go, non-contention: that’s where loving-kindness arises. When we let go of our moods, obsessions, worries, and fears—what’s left? Loving-kindness. — Ajahn Pasanno

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Whenever problems come to us from beings or inanimate objects, if our mind gets used to perceiving only the suffering or the negative aspects of them, then even from a small negative incident great mental pain will ensue. For it is the nature of indulgence in any concept, whether suffering or happiness, that the experience of this happiness or suffering will thereby be intensified. — Tulku Thondup Rinpoche (1939–2023)

Although a medicine may be potent, if you don’t take it correctly according to the doctor’s instructions, the disease won’t be cured.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

The human mind is always searching outside itself and never feels fulfilled. This brings about unwholesome activity. Bodhisattvas, on the other hand, know the value of having few desires.
They live simply and peacefully, so they can devote themselves to practicing the Way. — Discourse on the Eight Realizations of the Great Beings (Translation by Thich Nhat Hanh)
