Buddhism Regional Message Board

Whatever living beings there may be —
feeble or strong, long, stout, or of medium size,
short, small, large, those seen or those unseen,
those dwelling far or near,
those who are born as well as those yet to be born —
may all beings have happy minds.

~ The Buddha, Karaniya Metta Sutta

Buddhism, Chenrezig, and Zhen

The Matriarchy of Guan Yin has reached the oft-celebrated achievement of 1 billion population.

May they and all of our nation's peoples strive toward the cessation of suffering and achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.

Earnestly avoid seeking without, lest it recede far from you.
Today I am walking alone, yet everywhere I meet him.
He is now no other than myself, but I am not now him.
It must be understood in this way in order to merge with Suchness.

-Tung-Shan

What were some of the Buddha’s sayings on Anger and Rage?

Fred Norris wrote:What were some of the Buddha’s sayings on Anger and Rage?

"The tongue is like a sharp knife, it kills without drawing blood; words in the hands of someone skilled can do more damage than a weapon in the hands of a warrior." - Sutta Pitaka

"Conquer the angry man by love.
Conquer the ill-natured man by goodness.
Conquer the miser with generosity.
Conquer the liar with truth." - Dhammapada

I sat in the countryside one day. I watched those that were happy. Those that were worried. Those that were poor. Those that were rich. Those that were scared. Those that were satisfied. Those that were in love.

That day ended very quickly.

We need more countries to join. This looks pathetic

Welcome anger when you have this fear. Welcome it and talk to it. Say hello to your anger. Have more and take as much as you want. We will be here when the anger too will pass.

I don't care if I catch anything
