A kind heart flows not from emotion, but from a clear conscience.

H.H. the 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje

The study of Buddhism should eventually lead to the practice of meditation, such that one will cross the ocean of Samsara with little effort.

The Buddha

O monks and wise men, just as a goldsmith would test his gold by burning, cutting and rubbing it, so must you examine my words and accept them, not merely out of reverence for me.

The Buddha

Our thoughts manifest our words. Our words manifest our deed.

H.H. the 17th Karmapa Thaye Dorje

Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

The Buddha
