Words from the Suttas/Sutras:
"If, Subhuti, a bodhisattva holds on to the idea that a self, a person, a living being, or a life span exists, that person is not an authentic bodhisattva." ----The Diamond Sutra

Quote of the Week:
"Buddhism is not an intellectual pursuit; it is a practical pursuit, which suggests that practice is central to the establishment of Buddhist philosophy." ---- Master Gudo Wafu Nishijima
