Words from the Suttas/Sutras
"When an enlightening being first determines on the Way,
Vowing to seek and realize Buddha's enlightenment,
The virtues therein are boundless,
Immeasurable, beyond compare.
...
Engendering pure faith in the Buddha, Teaching, and Community,
By this they produce a broad, magnanimous mind."--Avatamsaka Sutra

Quote of the Week
"A person with a deluded view of life is like a dog chasing his own tail. He believes that it is another dog’s tail. He chases the other dog around and around a tree thinking only, 'Just let me get that dirty dog!' He will never catch his own tail, just as neither wealth, power, success, nor prestige will guarantee our security. Eventually the dog dies, as do we. At that moment the dog dies, he does not know what he was about or why he dies. He is unaware that he has been chasing his own tail. Such is the deluded view of life, and many, many of us live this way."--Master Sheng-yen
