Thomas Cleary Quotes

The Buddhas speak the wondrous sound throughout the world; the Teachings spoken over countless ages can all be expounded in a single word.

Look for loyal ministers in homes with filial sons

The Buddha is like space, with no inherent nature; appearing in the world to benefit the living, his features and refinements are like reflections.

Because of barriers of knowledge, barriers of state, and barriers of action, seeing your own buddha nature is like seeing color at night.
