Words from the Suttas/Sutras
"Prajna paramita is the mother of all bodhisattvas and mahasattvas; it is the source of the Dharma." --Mahaprajna Paramita Sutra

Quote of the Week
"A woman wanted to know how to deal with anger. I asked when anger arose whose anger it was. She said it was hers. Well, if it really was her anger, then she should be able to tell it to go away, shouldnt she? But it really isn't hers to command. Holding on to anger as a personal possession will cause suffering. If anger really belonged to us, it would have to obey us. If it doesn't obey us, that means it's only a deception. Don't fall for it. Whenever the mind is happy or sad, don't fall for it. Its all a deception."--Ajahn Chah
