Please be on time!Words from the Suttas/Sutras
"Have I not taught you aforetime, Ananda, that it is the nature of all things near and dear to us that we must suffer separation from them, and be severed from them? Of that which is born, come to being, put together, and so is subject to dissolution, how should it be said that it should not depart? That, indeed, is not possible.... Therefore, Ananda, be ye an island unto yourself, a refuge unto yourself, seeking no external refuge; with the Teaching as your island, the Teaching your refuge, seeking no other refuge." --Samyutta Nikaya, Cunda SuttaQuote of the Week
"Happiness that is real and long lasting comes not from material or external circumstances, but through contentment and strength of mind"--Tulku Thundup.
