Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Don't move. Just die over and over. Don't anticipate. Nothing can save you now because you have only this moment. Not even enlightenment will help you now because there are no other moments. With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don't move. — Shunryu Suzuki (1904–1971)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Until we see accurately, we are trapped in suffering. Seeing reality accurately is liberation. So the doubts that trigger enquiry are our best friends on the path—open to them with humility and love—they are bringing us closer and closer to the truth ... — Lama Shenpen Hookham

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Don’t think of Buddhism as some kind of narrow, closed-minded belief system. It isn’t. Buddhist doctrine is not a historical fabrication derived through imagination and mental speculation, but an accurate psychological explanation of the actual nature of the mind. — Lama Thubten Yeshe (1935–1984)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: The whole thing, so many practices, all come down to living daily life with bodhicitta motivation to put all the effort into that whatever you do. This way your life isn’t wasted and becomes full of joy and happiness, with no regrets later, especially when you die, and you can die with a smile outside and a smile in the heart. — Lama Zopa Rinpoche (1945–2023)

Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: The Buddha was born in this world for a single purpose—to teach the Bodhisattva Path. Everyone can attain buddhahood, but before becoming a buddha, we must walk the Bodhisattva Path and put the teachings into practice. Without this practice, we will remain far from the path to buddhahood. — Master Cheng Yen
