"We cannot discover the nature of man
in the same way that we can detect the nature of physical things.
Physical things may be described in terms of thier objective properties,
but man may be described and defined only in terms of his consciousness" |
| Albert Einstein |
"A human is a part of the whole, called
by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences
himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the
rest-a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion
is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and affection from a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to
free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely but the striving for such
achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation
for inner security." |

"It's a sad day when you find out
that it's not an accident or time or fortune but just yourself that

"To love is not to give of your riches
but to reveal to others their riches; their gifts; their value;
and to trust them and their capacity to grow. So it is important
to approach people in their brokenness and littleness gently, so
gently, not forcing yourself on them, but accepting them as they
are, with humility and respect." |

"The Matrix" |
 Morpheus:
Unfortunately, no one can be....told what The Matrix is...you
have to see it for yourself.
Neo:
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Morpheus: No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready,
you won't have to.

"It is the truth of the teaching which is all-important,
and never the personality of the teacher."
"Four Reliances"
Rely on the message of the teacher, not on his personality;
Rely on the meaning, not just on the words;
Rely on the real meaning, not on the provisional one;
Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind. |

A story called
"The path is the destination: The destination is the path
they are one in the same"
One day two different people had to travel to the same destination
in town. The first person decided to take the highway because
they wanted to get there as fast as possible. The second person
decided to take the back roads because they didn't feel rushed.
These two individuals may have taken two different paths but they
both arrived at the same destination. The moral is before you
start to judge another persons path in life ask yourself, is their
destination ultimately the same. |
