All worldly pursuits have but the one unavoidable and inevitable
end, which is sorrow: acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings, in
destruction; meetings, in separation; births, in death. Knowing this, one
should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building,
and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about
realizing the Truth. - Milarepa
Language is limited. It cannot be used to express colour to the
blind nor sound to the deaf and cannot be used to express truth. Truth, being
above the limitations of language, can only be expressed symbolically or by
analogy, and the comprehension of truth so expressed is relative to the
understanding of the recipient. - Henry
N. Gerguson
In the attitude of silence the soul finds
the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself
into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. - Mahatma Gandhi
A perception, sudden as blinking, that subject and object are one,
will lead to a deeply mysterious understanding; and by this understanding you
will awaken to the truth... - Huang
Po
When wisdom awakens in you, you will see truth wherever you look.
Truth is all there is. - Ajahn Chah
The truth is open for all who can understand. You must be lamps unto
your selves. You must depend upon no eternal refuge, depend on no leader, and
depend on no teacher. Look within. You are the Buddha.
When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you
look. Truth is all there is. It's like when you've learned how to read - you
can then read anywhere you go.
Truth is both the way and the goal, the direction to the destination
and the destination itself.
