“Forgiveness is the greatest weapon, because a saint so armed is unperturbable… he can give up anger immediately.”
– Neem Karoli Baba

Durga, Mother of the Universe, blesses you. Ave Maria, Ma Ma Ma

Christ and Hanuman saw all women as the Mother. You have to understand the Mother to realize God.

--Neem Karoli Baba

Love is not just an idea. Love is something alive, living, personal, and true, the creating and nourishing power within life. It is patient, free to all, and it is medicine and food.

Buddhist Quote for Today: If the whole universe can be found in our own body and mind, this is where we need to make our inquires. We all have the answers within ourselves, we just have not got in touch with them yet. The potential of finding the truth within requires faith in ourselves. — Ayya Khema (1923–1997) See more: buddhistdoor.net

Buddhist Quote for Today: Bowing is a very serious practice. You should be prepared to bow, even in your last moment. Even though it is impossible to get rid of our self-centered desires, we have to do it. Our true nature wants us to. — Shunryū Suzuki (1904–1971) See more: buddhistdoor.net

Feeling bad about the US #election? Here's something to give you strength. These trees in #Hiroshima were hit by the atomic bomb but survived. Out of respect, their Jodo Shinshu #Buddhist temples left them in place and rebuilt around them.
