Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: As Dharma practitioners, we must strive to act in accordance with our position, fulfilling our duties to the best of our abilities. Those who work sincerely and mindfully often find themselves unburdened, while those who are unwilling to take up responsibilities are grumpy and feel miserable. When something needs to be done, just do it. When it’s finished, just let it go. In this way, the mind is calm and free. This is the mindset to cultivate on our spiritual path. — Master Zhisui

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas view the inhabitants of the Samsara as their own dear sons and daughters. Thus, they often wish to see all leave suffering and attain bliss. Unfortunately, sentient beings are deluded and lacking in faith. Therefore, they remain ignorant of the Buddhas’ ceaseless compassion. It is just like those who do not hold their heads up high can never admire the clear skies despite being right under it. — Master Yin Guang (1862–1940)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Good friends, what are meditation and wisdom like? They’re like a lamp and its light. When there’s a lamp, there’s light. When there’s no lamp, there’s no light. The lamp is the light’s body, and light is the lamp’s function. They have two names but not two bodies. This teaching concerning meditation and wisdom is also like this. — Master Huineng (638– 713 CE)
