Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: In meditation, silently and serenely, all words are transcended. In Illumination, all things appear as is. Silence is the ceasing of ego-grasping. Illumination is the functioning of the wonder of wisdom. The unity of these two is awakening to buddha-nature. — Master Sheng Yen

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. Dogen reminds us never to forget our Buddhist history and the efforts of prior Buddhas. Unlike most of the population we learn from the dharma of the past. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #dharma

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. Prajna means transcendental wisdom, translated as wisdom beyond wisdom. An essential Mahayana Buddhist teaching it is the experience of emptiness or interconnectedness of all things. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #prajna

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: These days various aspects of the Dharma, like mindfulness, are becoming more and more popular, but rarely as a preparation for death and definitely not as a preparation for what lies beyond death. Modern people meditate for every reason under the sun except the most important one. — Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. This may seem contrary to what is often said, that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, but note the word "embodied" that Dogen uses. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #buddhanature

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. Dogen believed that there was a circle of aspiration, practice, enlightenment, and nirvana. Becoming enlightened did not negate the need to practice. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #enlightenment

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Simply ask yourself the question: "Am I Aware?" There is a pause, and of course you answer, "YES." What happened in that pause? You became aware of being aware. Now ask yourself that question again and simply stay in that pause. This is meditation! — Rupert Spira

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. The sutras and especially those expounded by the Buddha are meant to inspire greater effort, and, teamed with a good teacher, can lead to enlightenment. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #sutra

Your weekly Dharma from The Essential Dogen. What Dogen is saying is not contradicting himself. He is saying sutras can point the way to the correct practice, which in turn can bring realization, but studying sutras alone does not. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #Dogen #dharma #sutra

Weekly Dharma from the Dhammapada. In Buddhism, fetters are mental chains or bonds that tie a person to the cycle of suffering and rebirth. Examples: belief in a self (ego), doubt or uncertainty, sensual desire, and ill will. #Buddhism #buddhism #buddha #buddhist #zen #dhammapada #dharma #discover

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas view the inhabitants of the Samsara as their own dear sons and daughters. Thus, they often wish to see all leave suffering and attain bliss. Unfortunately, sentient beings are deluded and lacking in faith. Therefore, they remain ignorant of the Buddhas’ ceaseless compassion. It is just like those who do not hold their heads up high can never admire the clear skies despite being right under it. — Master Yin Guang (1862–1940)
