Things that inspire me and strengthen my Buddhist practice. I am still learning but don't hesitate to ask me anything! |
“The only real failure in life is to not be true to the best one knows.” Buddha
Carl Sagan
A teacher cannot give you the truth.
The truth is already in you.
You only need to open yourself –
body, mind and heart-
so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment.
If you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
In the end these things will matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you learn to let go?
-the Buddha
