Generosity is not just about giving material gifts; it also involves offering time, kindness, and attention. We can—and should—extend those acts of generosity toward people beyond our own inner circles. - Kassidy Evans
We have accumulated innumerable karmic seeds of pain, misery, fear, struggle, envy, and indolence. We may curtail their expression for a time, but they will subtly remain until we disengage from and disidentify with their continuum. - Tashi Nyima
Just as an age was once ready to receive the Copernican theory of the universe, so is our age ready for the idea of reincarnation to be brought into the general consciousness of humanity. - Rudolf Steiner Letting go is the opposite of desire or attachment. Think of it as generosity in the highest sense. - Henepola Gunaratana
Buddhism stands unique among all the other world religions. It is a rational religion that invites us to question even the most sacred words before we totally accept them. The Buddha himself famously told his followers that they should not accept his words out of regard for him, but accept them through thorough investigation, just like gold can be accepted after a lengthy process of heating, cutting, and rubbing. - Anam Thubten Rinpoche
Liberation comes into being through seeing the truth. - Shantideva
You have to get your mind in shape so that it can take refuge in itself, in line with the principles of the skill the Buddha taught. - Phra Ajaan Fuang Jotiko
Liberation in Buddhism is not to get what we want, but rather not to want. - Bhikkhu Cintita
Be generous with your strengths and skills. They are not your private property, and they grow from being shared. - Joanna Macy
