"Good man, if one wishes to accomplish the wisdom of all wisdom, then one must decisively seek a true good knowing [spiritual] advisor. Good man, in seeking for a good knowing advisor, do not become weary or lax. And upon seeing a good knowing advisor, do not become satiated. As to a good knowing advisor and all his teachings, you must follow and accord. As to expedient devices employed by a good knowing advisor, do not find faults."--Avatamsaka Sutra.Quote of the Week
"Too many schisms, too many arguments. Religious leaders and philosophers are forever criticizing each other: I speak the truth, the right view; this other view is wrong, and let me tell you why it is wrong. True Buddhists do not get caught up in these trivial debates. Any path is good if it helps to create wholesome conduct. The difference between these paths lies in their destination."--Chan Master Sheng-yenTo unsubscribe
