Inspirational quotes by Buddha, and the Motherly Buddha

"It is painful to leave the world; it is painful to be in the world; and it is painful to be alone amongst the many. The long road of transmigration is a road of pain for the traveller; let him rest by the road and be free." Buddha

"Indeed you will be entirely engulfed by suffering due to the [spiritual] pursuit by placing your heart on being attached to the previous sages....Through being caught by what cannot be practised [you]...are not in balance with that which is beyond cognitive perception. ...But those who...lucidly intuit pristine awareness, they [have realized] the imperceptible due to this...lucid intuition." kun byed rgyal po'i mdo (The Sovereign, All-Creating Mind, the Motherly Buddha. p106,165)

"This central vigor of non-thinking abides from the primordial like the sky in total transcendence of thinking and articulating such reflections", kun byed rgyal po'i mdo (The Sovereign, All-Creating Mind, the Motherly Buddha. p113)
