Quote of the day - Aug 29th

The Way of the Bodhisattvas is not reserved for the learned, the famous, or the powerful alone; it is for all—for everyone and anyone who sincerely seeks to become part of existence by becoming One with All! Therefore, the Great Teaching of “Serve All, Love All” must be embedded in your mind. Each night before you fall asleep, contemplate how you can truly serve and love your fellow beings!
What is the use of knowing when the practice is not applied? Perfecting virtues cannot be done with the mind alone. Holding noble views is fine, but you cannot build a house with sheer mind power! All the knowledge that you have accumulated through reading and hearing will not be worth much until the day you decide to do your bit to give real help to humanity. When this is done—and ‘doing good to others’ is not only lip service—then you are a true son of the Buddha, a favourite son of the Bodhisattvas, and a great son of man!
