Truth...

Sakka asked the Buddha: "Do different religious teachers head for the same goal or practice the same disciplines or aspire to the same thing?"

"No, Sakka, they do not. And why? This world is made up of myriad different states of being, and people adhere to one or another of these states and become tenaciously possessive of them, saying, 'This alone is true, everything else is false.' It is like a territory that they believe is theirs. So all religious teachers do not teach the same goal or the same discipline, nor do they aspire to the same thing.

"But if you find truth in any religion or philosophy, then accept that truth without prejudice."

All in the Family

Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world. How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are members of one and the same family.

-the Dalai Lama

(I will have to admit this includes George W Bush)

Not thinking about anything is zen.
Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, lying down,
everything you do is zen.
To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha...
Using the mind to look for reality is delusion.
Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness.
Freeing oneself from words is liberation.

The Fountain of Lamneth

Now at last I fall before the Fountain of Lamneth. I thought I would be singing but I'm tired, out of breath. Many journeys end here but the secret's told the same. Life is just a candle and the dream must give it flame.

I was looking for the answer but the journey is the answer...

Here all along

I like PostSecret. You can relate to at least one every week...
