“To find Buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a Buddha. If you don't see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings, and keeping precepts are all useless. Invoking buddhas results in good karma, reciting sutras results in a good memory, keeping precepts results in good rebirth, and making offerings results in future blessings-but no Buddha.” IfsWisdomMemoriesResultsPracticeBlessingKarmaUselessOfferingRebirthGood MemoriesRecitingGood Karma Author:Bodhidharma

“As for my memory, I have a particularly good one. I never keep any record of my investigations or experiments. My memory files all these things away conveniently and reliably.

“Yet this perhaps is what love does, or the memory of it; it sucks the life from the living, glorying body and leaves it, when love has gone, a shred, a simulacrum - dross, to be swept up from the factory floor, pitiful and dusty, useless... Do all men and women feel love before they die? This force, this source of light, that lies before the sun; glances off mountains and lakes, blinding and dazzling, on a Sunday afternoon; so brilliant you have to guard your soul, fold your arms to shield your heart from the very memory of it.” MenFeelsHeartDoeSoulBodyLightLyingDiesForceMemoriesLove IsSunGoneSourceArmsMountainMen And WomenBrilliantYour SoulUselessLakesSundayAfternoonFactoriesGlancesFoldsShieldsDazzlingPitifulDrossSunday AfternoonsSimulacrum Author:Fay Weldon
