“There is no unmoving mover behind the movement. It is only movement. It is not correct to say that life is moving, but life is movement itself. Life and movement are not two different things. In other words, there is no thinker behind the thought. Thought itself is the thinker. If you remove the thought, there is no thinker to be found.” IfsTwoDifferentMovingLife IsFoundBehindsMovementDifferent ThingsRemoveThinkerTwo Different Things Book:What the Buddha Taught Source: What the Buddha Taught
“Two ideas are psychologically deep-rooted in man: self-protection and self-preservation. For self-protection man has created God, on whom he depends for his own protection, safety and security, just as a child depends on its parent. For self-preservation man has conceived the idea of an immortal Soul or Atman, which will live eternally. In his ignorance, weakness, fear, and desire, man needs these two things to console himself. Hence he clings to them deeply and fanatically.” MenNeedsChildrenTwoIdeasSoulSelfDesireParentSecurityIgnoranceDependsWeaknessSafetyProtectionTwo ThingsImmortalRootedPreservationConsoleSelf PreservationImmortal SoulAtmanSelf ProtectionSafety And Security Author:Walpola Rahula
