Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/18/2014
"The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is to release
the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and
disappointments of the past that bind our spirit."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/17/2014
"True emptiness is not empty, but contains all things. The
mysterious and pregnant void creates and reflects all possibilities. From it
arises our individuality, which can be discovered and developed, although never
possessed or fixed."
~Jack

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/16/2014
"As we encounter new experiences with a mindful and wise attention,
we discover that one of three things will happen to our new experience: it will
go away, it will stay the same, or it will get more intense. whatever happens
does not really matter."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/14/2014
"When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose
connection with one another - and ourselves."
~Jack

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/13/2014
"You hold in your hand an invitation: to remember the transforming
power of forgiveness and loving kindness. To remember that no matter where you
are and what you face, within your heart peace is possible."
~Jack

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/12/2014
"Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can
love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or
friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end
their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our
wishes."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/11/2014
"We come to understand the law of causality - that is, we see that
all beings are experiencing what they're experiencing based on their own actions
and not by what we wish for them - and therefore we relax in a deep
understanding and acceptance of the way things are."
~Noah
Levine
Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/10/2014
"Everything is unfolding based on causes and conditions. Our
happiness or suffering is dependent on how we relate to the present moment. If
we cling now, we suffer later. If we let go and respond with compassion or
friendliness, we create happiness and well-being for the future."

the present."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/8/2014
"Pain and suffering are two completely difference experiences. Pain
is unavoidable. Suffering is self-created."
~Noah
Levine
Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/7/2014
"We have the ability to effect a great positive change in the
world, starting with the training of our own minds and the overcoming of our
deluded conditioning. Waking up is not a selfish pursuit of happiness; it is a
revolutionary stance from the inside out, for the benefits of all beings in
existence."
~Noah

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/6/2014
"The next step in the process of liberation is to break this chain
reaction of suffering whenever life is unpleasant and feeling content only when
life is pleasurable."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/5/2014
"The inner revolution will not be televised or sold on the
Internet. It must take place within one's own mind and heart."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/4/2014
"It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the
world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself
from the bonds of fear and attachment."
~Noah

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/3/2014
"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We
ourselves must walk the path."
~Gautama

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/2/2014
"Three things can not hide for long: the Moon, the Sun and the
Truth."

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/1/2014
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is
more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person
is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire
universe, deserve your love and affection."
~Gautama
Buddha
Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 7/31/2014
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is
founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with
an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the
beast that draws the wagon.... If a man speak or act with a good thought,
happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him."
~Gautama
Buddha
Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 7/30/2014
"There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt
separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up
pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that
kills."
~Gautama
Buddha
