BUDDHIST WISDOM

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

All the wealth you've acquired from beginningless time until now has failed to fulfill all your desires. Cultivate therefore this wish-granting gem of moderation, O fortunate ones.

- Milarepa, "Drinking the Mountain Stream


Our very nature is Buddha, and apart from this nature there is no other Buddha.

- The Sutra of Hui Neng

By him who speaks only to help beings, It was said that all beings Have arisen from the conception of I And are enveloped with the conception of mine.

- Nagarjuna, "Precious Garland

Those with initiative, mindful, clean in action, acting with due consideration, heedful, restrained, living the Dharma: their glory grows. Through initiative, heedfulness, restraint, & self-control, the wise would make an island no flood can submerge.

- Dhammapada, 2, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
