a path with heart

Posted in Stones on the Path on November 14th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself and yourself alone one question. This question is on that only a vary old man asks. My benefactor told me about it once when I was young and my blood was too vigorous for me to understand it. Now I do understand it. I will tell you what it is: “Does this path have a heart?” If it does, the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.
~ Don Juan

Not knowing how near the truth is, we seek it far away.

gone beyond

Posted in Stones on the Path on November 10th, 2005 by DhammaSeeker

Enlightenment is not about becoming something or someone else. It is the recognition of our intrinsic human nature, which is absolute truth. This absolute true nature is called “Buddha nature.” The term Buddha, from the Sanskrit tatha, or tathagata, means “gone beyond,” going beyond an ignorant state to become completely inseparable from absolute truth, which is our genuine ground. This is the essence of Buddhism and the main focus of our understanding and practice.
~ Mindroling Khandro Rinpoche
