Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:  Through practicing the Buddhadharma, even immutable karma can dissipate easily. Why? Because karma is ultimately an illusion. When it meets something realβ€”Amitabha’s nameβ€”the illusion must dissolve. If Amitabha-recitation couldn’t overcome immutable karma, how could it possibly enable our rebirth in the Pure Land and attainment of buddhahood? β€” Master Jingzong

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:   By observing the world with a still mind, we see that after the waves subside, the sea returns to calm; after the storms have passed, the earth grows quiet; and after emotional turmoils fade, the human heart, too, finds tranquility. Having weathered life’s tempests, and tasted its many flavorsβ€”sweet, sour, bitter, and spicyβ€”we come to realize that the truest contentment lies in simplicity. β€” Master Zhisui

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:  We often think the only way to create happiness is to try to control the outer circumstances of our lives, to try to fix what seems wrong or 
to get rid of everything that bothers us. But the real problem lies in our reaction to those circumstances. What we have to change is the mind and the way it experiences reality. β€” Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche (1930–2002)
