Words from the Suttas/Sutras
"We vow to deliver an infinite number of sentient beings of our mind.
  We vow to get rid of the innumerable defilements in our own mind.
  We vow to learn the countless systems in Dharma of our Essence of Mind.
  We vow to attain the Supreme Buddhahood of our Essence of Mind. "
--The Sutra of Hui Neng (SUTRA SPOKEN  BY THE SIXTH PATRIARCH ON
THE HIGH SEAT OF  "THE TREASURE OF THE LAW" )
 

Quote of the Week
"Buddhadharma does not negate the world and phenomena, nor does it teach people to
  escape from the world. It teaches people to liberate themselves by affirming the world
  and at the same time not attaching to it."
  --Master Sheng-Yen
