The Buddha

Better it is to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live as hundred years w/out ever seeing the rise and fall of things

There is the taking on of a practice that is painful in the present but yields pleasure in the future.

Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Like a broken gong, be still and silent. Know the stillness of freedom where there is no more striving.

Since all dharmas are magical creations, each disciple, each Buddha must be a magical creation.

Contemplate the merit of the past, future and present Buddhas and Lords, from their first thought of enlightenment up to their para-nirvana.

The greatest prayer is patience.

Beware of the anger of the body. Master the body.

The traveller who hesitates Only raises dust on the road.

The glorious chariots of kings wear out, and the body wears out and grows old; but the virtue of the good never grows old.

As dust thrown against the wind, mischief is blown back in the face of the fool who wrongs the pure and harmless.

It is you who must make the effort. Masters only point the way.

There are three kinds of omniscience: The knowledge of all modes, the knowledge of the paths, and all-knowledge.

Not coursing in I-making dharmas, a Bodhisattva gives gifts but does not apprehend the gift, giver or recipient.

Let it serve truth.

When I pulled out sorrow's shaft, I showed you the way. It is you who must make the effort. The masters only point the way.

Follow the awakened and from among the blind the light of your wisdom will shine out, purely.

I went to a secluded dwelling and after the meal and returning from alms, I sat legs crossed, the body placed straight and mindful.
