A student came to complain to Ajaan Fuang that she had been meditating for years, and still hadn’t gotten anything out of it.

His immediate response: “You don’t meditate to ‘get’ anything. You meditate to let go.”

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Ajahn Anan Akincano

Never be negligent with your life; as much as possible, recollect the fact you have to die. Every day, remind yourself, today might be my last day. Each in-breath you take may be your last. Every out-breath you take may be your last. — Ajahn Anan Akincano

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

Those who become Buddhas put others before themselves. Doing so is the secret to their success on the path to enlightenment. Their determination to be of benefit to others allows them to accomplish two goals: they help others, and at the same time, without trying, they achieve their own temporary and ultimate happiness. — Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche — Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Those who become Buddhas put others before themselves.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Gihwa (1376–1433)

In remote mountain, dense forest, empty sounds of the wind, the nocturnal air is chilly with bright moon and breeze so light. How regrettable that men, all in deep slumber, do not know the pleasures of this beautiful clear night! — Gihwa (1376–1433)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

In today's world, a true miracle would be to simply be a good human being. If cultivated properly, Buddhism is a very important method for bringing us closer to that truth—not as we hope or would like it to be, but the truth as it is. To realize the truth of who and what we are as human beings is to realize our buddha-nature. — Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche — Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: In today's world, a true miracle would be to simply be a good human being.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today:

You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom. — Jon Kabat-Zinn — Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness.

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche (1846–1912)

The principal aspect of the path, the actual antidote whereby the defilements are completely discarded, is the wisdom that realizes the absence of self. — Jamgon Mipham Rinpoche (1846–1912)
