Quotations
Path
To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
-Gautama Buddha " Gautama Buddha"
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
