I, ever knowing the living beings Who tread the Path and those who do not In response to those who may be saved Preach to them a variety of dharmas, Each time having this thought: 'How may I cause the beings To contrive to enter the Unexcelled Path and quickly to perfect the Buddha-body?'

Gautama Buddha
Image
The darkest night is ignorance.
Gautama Buddha

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Do not close your eyes before suffering. Find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, Including personal contact and visits, images, sound. By such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. This is a law eternal.

If I had even a slight awareness, and practiced the Great Way, what I would fear would be deviating from it.
