The mind is pure and luminous by nature. It is defiled only by adventitious thoughts and emotions
Gautama BuddhaJust as the great oceans have but one taste, the taste of salt, so too there is but one taste fundamental to all true teachings of the way, and this is the taste of freedom.
Gautama BuddhaIf a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.
Gautama Buddha
