“All the holy words you read and all the holy words you speak are as nothing if you do not act upon them. Even if you read little and say little but live the right way, forsaking craving, hatred and delusion, you will know the truth and find calmness and will show others the path.”
~ Quote by The Buddha

I can’t find enough leather
to cover the surface of the earth,
but leather on the soles of my shoes
is the same as covering the earth.
Likewise it’s not possible for me
to restrain the external course of things,
but should I restrain my mind
what need is there to restrain all else?
~ Shantideva

“Living in a rugged, deserted, and solitary hut is the Outer Practice.
Complete disregard of the self-body is the Inner Practice.
Thoroughly Knowing the Absolute is the Absolute Practice.
I am a yogi who knows all three.
Is there a disciple here who wishes to learn them?”

“The victorious ones say that emptiness
undermines all dogmatic views,
those who take a dogmatic view of emptiness
are said to be incurable.”

“We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.” ~ Kalu Rinpoche

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.”
~ Quote by The Buddha
