buddha

Buddha guides my thoughts, but it's up to me to guide my life.

When you look at Van Gogh, Jesus, Buddha, Mother Teresa from a "fiscal" perspective, they were homeless. When you look at them from a humanityperspective, they were priceless.

But I can no longer ready any faith's Napoleonic saber rattling without picturing smoking rubble on cable news. I guess if I had to pick a spiritual figurehead to possess the deed to the entirety of Earth, I'd go with Buddha, but only because he wouldn't want it.

If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.

Our daily prayer ought to be: Please universe, help me help myself and help me show others how to help themselves.

In the beauty of countless danseuse in my palace, I saw an endless suffering in the form of distorted and diseased figures as the absolute certainty towards which they were heading even as insects unwittingly consign themselves to the blazing flame.

When the voice of truth rises from the minarets, the Buddha smiles, and the broken chain of history reconnects.

Thoughts of some special people are like the stairs, they take you up to the upstairs floors; some are like the wings, they take you up to the skies and some are like the light itself, they take you right to the stars and the beyond! And such are the thoughts of Buddha!

Buddhas also have to be swept away, because the door can become a hindrance if you cling to it.

To live in the realm of Buddha nature means to die as a small being, moment after moment.

Buddha also said that the Dharma, like a bird, needs two wings to fly, and that the wing that balances Wisdom is compassion.

In the nembutsu we see and feel the Buddha everywhere and in everything. Life itself becomes the unfolding of Buddha

But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

When you have had nothing most of your life, you learn to appreciate the small things in life. The real challenge is appreciating the small things in life as you start to acquire material things and amassing wealth.Jim Robinson

The Buddha referred to married people as __ouseholders._ He even gave clear instructions as to how one should be a good householder: Be nice to your spouse, be honest, be faithful, give alms to the poor, buy some insurance against fire and flood . . . I__ dead serious: The Buddha literally advised married couples to buy property insurance.

Hadn't another wise man, the Buddha himself, warned about the evils of attachment?
