BUDDHIST WISDOM

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

Who would have thought that all things are the manifestation of the Essence of Mind!

- The Sutra of Hui Neng



What is "not thus"? It is your self. What is "thus"? It is the Buddhas.

- Dogen, "Rational Zen"


If you have a reason, you don't need to shout.

- Zen proverb


The world is apprehended by way of the mind The world is acted upon by way of the mind And all good things and bad Exist in the world by way of the mind.

- Samyutta Nikaya
