Emancipate yourselves
From mental slavery
None but ourselves
Can free our minds

All things arise when the appropriate conditions are present, and all things pass away as conditions change. Behind the process, there is no “self” who is running the show.

- Joseph Goldstein, Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening

📚New to Buddhism or curious about the teaching beyond the quotes and memes? Books to start with:

• What the Buddha Taught – Walpola Rahula
• The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching – Thich Nhat Hanh
• In the Buddha’s Words – Bhikkhu Bodhi

These books are clear, rooted, and full of real insight.

Sincerely,
A Buddhist

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: We are very much like birds that have lived too long in a cage to which we return even when we get the chance to fly away. We have grown so accustomed to our faults that we can barely imagine what life would be like without them. The prospect of change makes us dizzy. ― Matthieu Ricard 🔗 Explore more: buddhistdoor.net
