To attain Buddhahood ... we must scatter this life's aims and objects to the wind.

To attain Buddhahood ... we must scatter this life's aims and objects to the wind.

Deep in the wild mountains, is a strange marketplace,where you can trade the hassle and noise of everyday life, for eternal Light.

Accustomed long to contemplating love and compassion I have forgotten all difference between myself and others

In harvesting of evil deeds, the human race is busy; and doing so is to taste the pangs of Hell . . . The piling up of wealth is the piling up of others' property; what one thus storeth formeth but provisions for one's enemies... I wash off human scandal by devotion true; and by my zeal, I satisfy the Deities. By compassion, I subdue the demons; all blame I scatter to the wind, and upward turn my face.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

You menace others with your deadly fangs. But in tormenting them, you are only tormenting yourselves.
