BUDDHIST WISDOM

[Pravin Kumar]

Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light  from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.

- Tibetan Book of the Dead

Monks, there are these three roots of evil. What three? Lust is a root of evil, hate is a root of evil, delusion is a root of evil. These are the three roots of evil.

- Itivuttaka


Transient is this world; like phantoms and dreams, Substance it has none. Grasp not the world nor your kin; Cut the strings of lust and hatred; meditate in woods and mountains. If without effort you remain loosely in the "natural state," soon Mahamudra you will win and attain the Non-attainment.

- Tilopa, "The Song of Mahamudra"


Just as a cow with a young calf keeps an eye on it even when it is eating the grass, so it's proper for a person to keep an eye on all that can be done for others who are following the path.

- Majjhima Nikaya
