Isis SG Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth. Sutta Nipata
Isis SG Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is. In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom. We must be diligent today. To wait until tomorrow is too late. Death comes unexpectedly. How can we bargain with it? The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day, 'one who knows the better way to live alone.' Bhaddekaratta Sutta
Isis SG Our inability to stand someone results from our lack of cultivation. Having a wider heart and mind is more important than having a larger house. Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little. Venerable Cheng Yen
Isis SG The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love. Jennifer Edwards
cycle SG In a cycle of cause and effect, a first cause is inconceivable as the cause ever becomes the effect, and the effect in turn becomes the cause. Everything that exisits is interdependent. ~ Ven. Dr k sri Dhammananda
cycle SG ...death is not the end of life. A living being is just a bundle of energies holding the elements together. The physical death of a being is just an interlude in the repeated cycle of birth and death. Therefore, a being who is 'not the same and yet not different' continues to live, life after life, until the aim of life is finally attained. ~ Ven. Dr K Sri Dhammananda
cycle SG If something can be changed, work to change it.If cannot, why worry, be upset, and complain? ~ Shantideva, Guide to Bodhisattva's Way of Life
cycle SG 佛法中运用智慧，是从相对中突破，而显现出绝对来。比如烦恼，烦恼的相对不是菩提，由突破烦恼后的现象才是菩提，当烦恼来时，明了烦恼的内容，进而突破它，当然烦恼就不存在； 那就是突破了[有]显现出[无] 来。 - 白云禅师，解惑篇

An Eternal Now SG To see a World in a grain of sand and Heaven in a wildflower,hold Infinity in the palm of your handand Eternity in an hour. ~ William Blake
cycle SG 从前，有人问起前生后生，怀疑三世。佛为他说：例如那边山顶，有一大树，枝叶扶疏。如肯登山，就能看到。如向这边看，向山下望，不依从指示的路径去探求，这怎么会看见？ 所以一向向外奔驰的世人，不受指导， 不习禅定，不得净智，冯他那眼见耳闻的感官知识，否定三世流转的生命事实，说是迷信，这真如聋子的否定声音一样，犯了迷 而不信的重病！ ~ 印顺导师，学佛三要
