Thursday, 3/06/2003, 7pm to 8:30pm Room 304, Student Activities Center Please be on time! Words from the Suttas/Sutras:
All Buddhas of the three periods of time attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi through reliance on Prajna Paramita. Therefore know that Prajna Paramita is a Great Spiritual Mantra, a Great Bright Mantra, a Supreme Mantra, an Unequalled Mantra. It can remove all suffering; it is genuine and not false.
----from Heart Sutra Quote of the Week:
Seekers after the Way,No special effort is needed to understand the Way of Buddha. Just be natural and do what you should do. Go to the toilet, put on your clothes, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired. Fools laugh at me for saying this, of course, but the wise know this is the truth. As the ancients say, "They are fools who seek enlightenment from without rather than from within"
