Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Your mind, though impure, is not so distracted that you cannot recite Amitabha’s Name. Your practice time, though short, is not so short that you will fail to encounter the Dharma at the end of your life. If such a person can attain rebirth, there is no one who cannot. — Master Huijing

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to let go of grasping / When encountering things one finds pleasant or attractive, / Considering them to be like rainbows in the summer skies— / Beautiful in appearance, yet in truth devoid of any substance. — Gyalsé Ngulchu Tokmé (1297–1371)
