Buddhist texts

OUR GREATEST ENEMY Buddhist texts do not exaggerate when they say that our greatest enemy is clinging to a self. Why? We are caught in a situation where mind is incapable of directly experiencing its own essential emptiness, and instead posits a self that must be sustained. We thus develop all the needs and wants that must be gratified in order to maintain such a self. Suffering comes from the endless search to satisfy what cannot be satisfied. “I” leads to “I am” which ❤︎ Kalu Rinpoche

The dharma wheel (*dharmachakra*) symbolizes the teachings of the Buddha, who was said to have "turned the wheel of the dharma." The wheel is commonly used as a symbol of Buddhism.

The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests a the deed...as we think, so we become -- Buddha

Sutras are ancient texts that are still deeply meaningful today. Six dharma teachers each unpack a beloved sutra.
