Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: As Buddhists who set our standards by the Teachings of the Buddha, we must do our best to eliminate hate from our lives, from our actions, from our hearts. It is difficult to practice the advice of the Buddha to treat even the bitterest of enemies as our parents. But we must try. — Seongcheol Sunim (1912–1993)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: The Dharma is peace and pacification, because it is free from desire. It does not become an object, because it is free of words and letters; it is inexpressible, and it transcends all movement of mind. — Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra
