Buddhist Thought

The Four Reliances 

First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words; 

Second, rely on the teachings, not on the personality of the teacher;

Third, rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation; 

And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind, not on judgmental perceptions.

Buddhist Thought

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Buddhist Thought

A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.

Buddhist Thought for the Week

Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity. 
- Buddha 

Buddhist Thought

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.

Buddhist Thought

The world, indeed, is like a dream and the treasures of the world are an alluring mirage! Like the apparent distances in a picture, things have no reality in themselves, but they are like heat haze.

Buddhist Thought

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Buddhist Thought

I don't believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
-Dalai Lama
