Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Although we call ourselves “Buddhists” and profess Buddhism, we haven’t yet realized the truth of Buddhism, for we are acquainted with only a tiny aspect of our own Buddhism. — Buddhadasa Bhikkhu (1906–1993)

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: Although the spiritual journey is a homecoming of sorts, it is still indispensable to proceed on the path in the first place. We cannot say that since our authentic state is the enlightened mind of luminous bliss, we need not embark on any kind of spiritual journey. We cannot afford to think we are already there. — Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche (1955–2012)
