“My most fundamental hope is for a worldwide attitude of tolerance, which will only come through education and an awareness of other cultures and religions.

“Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we grasp onto the physical forms we see. Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we cling to the sounds we hear. As a consequence, we make ourselves inseparable from all things, yet we are not like some shadowy figure 'lodging' in a mirror or like the moon in water. Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.” MindBodyFormSoundSidesWaterDarknessFiguresMoonConsequenceAll ThingsOppositesMirrorsBuddhistWitnessInseparable Author:Dogen

“Sentient beings, self and others, enemies and dear ones-all are made by thoughts. It is like seeing a rope and mistaking it for a snake. When we think that the rope is a snake, we are scared, but once we see that we are looking at a rope, our fear dissipates. We have been deluded by our thoughts. Likewise, mentally fabricating self and others, we generate attachment and aversion.” ThinkingHas BeensMadeSelfEnemySeeingDearScaredBuddhistAttachmentOur ThoughtsSnakesRopeAversionDeludedSentient BeingsDear Ones Author:Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

“Compassion has nothing to do with achievement at all. It is spacious and very generous. When a person develops real compassion, he is uncertain whether he is being generous to others or to himself because compassion is enviromental generosity, without direction, without " for me" and without " for them". It is filled with joy, spontaneously existing joy, constant joy in the sense of trust, in the sense that joy contains tremendous wealth, richness.” PersonsRealJoyWealthCompassionAchievementFilledConstantBuddhistGenerosityGenerousUncertainRichnessEnviromentalBeing Generous Author:Chogyam Trungpa
