Izvrsnost nije čin, već navika.
Stoga kažem svima vama, Ānanda: "Održavajte ovu dobru praksu koju sam osnovao. Ne budite moj posljednji čovjek."
- Najveći neprijatelj je ego. Najveći gubitak je izgubiti sebe.
- Arrogancija je najgori poraz. Samoponižavanje je najžalosnija stvar.
- Sućut i svjesnost prolaznosti koja se javlja u umu su najveći darovi.
Dakle, Ānanda, nakon što prođem, neka poduka bude vaša otoka, živite kao vaša vlastita otoka, vaše vlastito utočište, bez drugog utočišta.
Za neovisnog nema uznemiravanja. Kada nema uznemiravanja, postoji mir. Kada postoji mir, nema sklonosti. Kada nema sklonosti, nema dolaska i odlaska. Kada nema dolaska i odlaska, nema umiranja i ponovnog rađanja. Kada nema umiranja i ponovnog rađanja, nema ovog svijeta ili svijeta izvan ili između ta dva.
Samo ovo je kraj patnje.

Buddha - Učenje - Saṅgha - Etika - Dobrta - Božanstva
Sućut
Prava sloboda
Tko može pratiti korake Onoga tko ne ostavlja trag? Smirenost djela - riječi - misli je prisutnost Buddhe. Nepojmljivost toga je ugašivanje Buddhe.
Mudrost
Neka bude
Čak i najmudrije riječi su poput splavi za plovidbu do daleke obale, a ne za držanje tijekom cijelog vremena. Samo neovisna Dhamma je prava Dhamma.
Izdržljivost
Hodaj s mudrima, postani mudar
Ako netko ne može pronaći mudre savjetnike ili dobre suputnike, trebao bi se truditi živjeti bez straha od opasnosti, lutajući sam, poput roga nosoroga.

The initial disciples had mostly undergone training with various ascetics and non-Buddhist teachers for a long period, so non-negligence had become a natural part of their character. Therefore, the teacher Gotama only needed to guide them in Morality (Sīla), Concentration (Samādhi), and Wisdom (Paññā). The rules (Vinaya) only gradually appeared as the number of disciples increased rapidly later on... >>> Detalji

Kafka on the Niraya's shore
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow grows. Until you become darkness yourself.
The interminable realm of darkness of Devadatta, Sisyphus, Prometheus. Here there is no Abhidhamma, only the entrance to the Avīci Hell. This place of delusional dreams is not a suitable abode for Buddhism practitioners. Depart from here before the last glimmer of light in Icarus’s eyes fades away... >>> Saṃsāra

Dobar Um Dobar Dan
Krishnamurti
#9
When facing every problem, large or small, human beings are always influenced by preconceived conclusions, explanations, and social prejudices.
- Parents, teachers, society, and religion—all say 'do this' and 'don't do that.'
- We dig a small hole and imprison ourselves in it, letting life pass by.
- The best and most beautiful thing is when you are alone.
Life is a continuous movement in relation; to try to capture this movement in the form of the past, such as memory, is to fear life.
Lao tzu
#10
A good man does not think himself good, and a foolish man is always trying to appear good.
- The most humble person is not really humble.
- One cannot stand on one leg for long.
- One cannot walk with legs spread apart.
To know others is intelligence, to know oneself is wisdom. To conquer others is strength, to conquer oneself is true courage.
Mahākāla
#11
"Mahā" means great, surpassing. "Kāla" means time, darkness, emptiness. Mahākāla transcends time and space.
- An incarnation of Mahāvairocana Buddha embodies the quality of destruction.
- An aspect of Shiva dissolves everything back into the primal Void.
- Deep blackness represents the absence and complete dissolution of all phenomena.
Mahākāla, fierce and destructive, devastates all of nature and even deities; this represents the Age of Destruction and Emptiness, where time and space are almost beyond conception.
Bhaddekaratta
"Čovjek ne bi trebao zanemariti svoje dobro zbog tuđeg, ma koliko veliko bilo;
Dobro znajući što je dobro za sebe,
čovjek bi trebao biti usmjeren prema svom pravom cilju."
- Dhammapada -

Nema Dolaska Nema Odlaska
Što god bića ovdje skupila, na tlu ili u nebu, neka su sva bića sretnog srca. Stoga obratite pažnju, svi vi bića, imajte ljubav prema svim stvorenjima. Što god bića ovdje skupila, neka ste sigurni.
Ratanasutta
Sutta Nipāta
Opravdana vjera je najbolja imovina osobe. Tko je marljiv i pronicljiv, pouka donosi sreću kada se dobro prakticira. Istina je najsladiji okus. Onaj za koga kažu da ima najbolji život živi po mudrosti.
Āḷavakasutta
Sutta Nipāta
Kao što bi majka zaštitila svoje jedino dijete svojim životom, tako i za sva stvorenja, razvijajte bezgranično srce. Kada stojite, hodate, sjedite ili ležite, stalno imajte ovo na umu; jer to je božanska meditacija u ovom životu.
Mettasutta
Sutta Nipāta
Sve je prolazno, Dukkha proizlazi iz vezanosti. Kada je um pod kontrolom, trebaš ga samo zaštititi od onoga odakle dolaze loše stvari, ne od svega. Sve je ne-sopstveno, Nibbana je ne-priklonjenost.
