When those who do not understand the Dhamma
act improperly, they look all around to make sure no one is watching. But
our kamma is always watching. We never really get away with anything.
- (Kamma
#53
- No Ajahn Chah).
-
God magnifies HIS
name when we are weak. We don't have to be eloquent or strong or handsome.
We don't have to be beautiful or brilliant or have all the answers to be blessed
of God. He honors our faith. All He asks is that we trust Him, that
we stand before Him in integrity and faith, an He'll win the
battle. He who walks in integrity walks securely. - Proverbs :10:9

- "Don't walk in front of me, I may
not follow; don't walk behind me, I may not
lead; walk beside me, and just be my friend."

"When your
original reason for studying Zen is not right, you wind up having labored
without accomplishment. This is why ancients used to urge people to study
Zen as if they were on the brink of death." - Yuanwu

Zhi Shakya, OHY
- When
you do something bad, there is nowhere you can go to hide. Even if others
don’t see you, you must see yourself. Even if you go into a deep hole,
you’ll still find yourself there. There’s no way you can commit bad
actions and get away with it. In the same way, why shouldn’t you see
your own purity? You see it all - the peace, the agitation, the
liberation, the bondage; you see all these for yourself. - (Kamma
#57
- No Ajahn Chah).
Unity is the secret, a complex,
understanding and embracing unity. When the full heart of Love is tranquillised
by knowledge into a calm ecstasy and vibrates with strength, when the strong
hands of Power labour for the world in a radiant fullness of joy and light, when
the luminous brain of knowledge accepts and transforms the heart's obscure
inspirations and lends itself to the workings of the high-seated Will, when all
these gods are founded together on a soul of sacrifice that lives in unity with
all the world and accepts all things to transmute them, then is the condition of
man's integral self-transcendence. This and not a haughty, strong and brilliant
egoistic self-culture enthroning itself upon an enslaved humanity is the divine
way of supermanhood. - Sri Aurobindo - Originally published under
the title of "The Type of
Superman", Vol. I, No. 9 (April, 1915) of the Arya.

- Avalokitesvara
Bodhisattva, when practicing deeply the Perfect Wisdom clearly saw that all
five Skandhas are empty and passed beyond all suffering.
-
- Sariputra,
form does not differ from emptiness: Emptiness does not differ from form.
Form then is emptiness. Emptiness then is form. Sensation, perception,
volition, and consciousness, are also like this.
-
- Sariputra,
all Dharmas are marked with emptiness: not born and not dying, not stained
and not pure, not gaining and not losing. Therefore, in emptiness there is
no form, no sensation, perception, volition or consciousness. No eye, ear,
nose, tongue, body or mind; nor form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or
Dharmas; no realm of sight 'til we come to no realm of consciousness; no
ignorance and no ending of ignorance, 'til we come to no old age and death,
and no ending of old age and death. No suffering, origination, extinction,
or path. No wisdom, and no attainment, with nothing to attain.
-
- Because
the Bodhisattva is the Perfect Wisdom of emptiness, his mind has no
hindrance. Having no hindrance, there is no fear and far from all fantasy,
he is dwelling in Nirvana.
-
- Because
all Buddhas of the three times practice the wisdom of emptiness, they gain
complete and perfect enlightenment.
-
- Therefore
know, that Perfect Wisdom, is the great holy mantram, the great bright
mantram, the wisdom mantram, the unequaled mantram, which can destroy all
suffering---truly real and not false. So he gave the Perfect Wisdom mantram,
which goes;

te Ga te, Pa ra Ga te,

Swaha.

"Knock,
and He'll open the door. Vanish, and He'll make you shine like the sun.
Fall, and He'll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, And He'll turn you
into everything!" -- Jelaluddin Rumi
“¡Busca,
y Él te abrirá la puerta! ¡Desaparece, y Él te hará brillar como el
sol! ¡Derrúmbate, y Él te levantará hasta los cielos! ¡Llega a ser
nada, y Él te convertirá en todo!” -- Jelaluddin Rumi
"Thus
shall ye think of all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a buffle in a
stream; a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a
phantom, and a dream." The Buddha
