✨ Love is the seed of this abundant harvest of buddhahood. It is like the water which causes growth and expansion, And it ripens into the state of lasting enjoyment, Therefore at the outset I shall praise compassion! — Chandrakirti (c. 600–c. 650 CE) ✨

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: The practice of all the bodhisattvas is to let go of grasping / When encountering things one finds pleasant or attractive, / Considering them to be like rainbows in the summer skies— / Beautiful in appearance, yet in truth devoid of any substance. — Gyalsé Ngulchu Tokmé (1297–1371)

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)

On Tuesday the Honpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin once again hosted the Nu'uana Valley Interfaith Thanksgiving service. Members of many different religious traditions gathered in the temple's hondo to give thanks, offer hymns, and support one another.

This photo shows the golden altar area of the temple, with a statue of Amida Buddha, hanging lanterns, and the majestic kuden. In front of it is a table covered in a white cloth. On top of the table are framed pictures of Jesus, the Kaaba, and other images, while sacred objects adorn the table, such as a cross, menorah, and lotus. Image is from the temple's Facebook page.

✨ Gazing intently into the empty sky, vision ceases; / Likewise, when mind gazes into mind itself, / The train of discursive and conceptual thought ends / And supreme enlightenment is gained. — Tilopa (c. 988–c. 1069) ✨
