Quotes
"Not to do evil, to cultivate the good, and to purify the mind. This is the teaching of all the Buddhas."
~ Buddha, Verse 183 of the Dhammapada (Teachings of the Buddha)
“The non-aggressive, moral and philosophical system expounded by the Buddha, which demands no blind faith from its adherents, expounds no dogmatic creeds, encourages no superstitious rites and ceremonies, but advocates a golden mean that guides a discipline through pure living and pure thinking to the gain of supreme vision and deliverance from all evil, is called the Dharma and is popularly known as Buddhism.”
~ Narada, Buddhism in a Nutshell
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.”
~ Albert Einstein
“The individual feels the futility of human desires and aims and the sublimity and marvelous order which reveal themselves both in nature and in the world of thought. Individual existence impresses him as a sort of prison and he wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole. The beginnings of cosmic religious feeling already appear at an early stage of development, e.g., in many of the Psalms of David and in some of the Prophets. Buddhism, as we have learned especially from the wonderful writings of Schopenhauer, contains a much stronger element of this.”
~ Albert Einstein, 1930
