The Bodhisattva Vow:

Sentient beings are innumerable, I vow to enlighten them all.

My delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to extinguish them all.

Dharma teachings are immeasurable, I vow to master them all.

Buddha way is endless, I vow to follow it.

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Fallen into wrong views are the ignorant ones,
With minds quick to anger, hate, and argue,
Always unsatisfied, seeking objects ever more
These minds motivated by desire, hatred, and delusion should be liberated.

- Avatamsaka Sutra, Book 26: The Ten Bhumis

Into a man
as tiny as a violet
may I be reborn!

The meditative concentration of space-vajra that is without appearance and in which all the dust of characteristics has vanished is like the very center of the sky
that is lit up by the autumn sun.
- Atisa

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

"Seventh bhumi is the stage of going far, in which bodhisattvas are proficient in concentration on emptiness; enter into selflessness and transcend ideas of personality, yet still accumulate virtue and knowledge and practicing infinite kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity."

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

May the mountains of the Crushing Hell
Become the boundless dwelling place of Buddhas
May the fiery hail of lava, stones and weapons,
Turn into a rain of blossoms.
And may the hellish battling with weapons
Now become a playful jest with flowers.
- The Bodhicharyavatara

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

The kingdom of no-dharma,
free from concepts,
Is discovered within the heart.
Here there is no hierarchy of different stages
And the mind returns to its naked state.

- Chogyam Trungpa, The Sadhana of Mahamudra

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Treat your body well,
because if the body is well
it causes you to find happiness,
happiness causes you to find firm mind,
firm mind causes you to generate samādhi,
samādhi causes you to find liberation.

Faith is the unspoiled seed of virtue
Faith can grow the seed of enlightenment
Faith can increase supreme knowledge
Faith can reveal all Buddhas
...
Faith is most powerful, very difficult to have
It's like in all worlds having
The wondrous wish-fulfilling pearl
- Avatamsaka Sutra

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

The ultimate reality of Śrī Śakyamuni is Buddha as its true nature.
Śrī Lokeśvara is Dharma as its true nature.
Śrī Bajrapāṇi is Arya Saṅgha as its true nature.
They are known as the so-called Ratnatraya.
- San Hyan Kamahayanikan

Ten kinds of birth of Bodhisattvas born in the Family of Buddhas:

Wise
The inconceivable
Peerless
The best of people
Great people
Sages
The enlightened
Those abiding in thusness
The great minded
Offspring of Buddhas

- Avatamsaka Sutra, Book 39

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

At last I find a meaning of soul’s birth
Into this universe terrible and sweet,
I who have felt the hungry heart of earth
Aspiring beyond heaven to Krishna’s feet.
I have seen the beauty of immortal eyes,
And heard the passion of the Lover’s flute.

- Sri Aurobindo, Krishna

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Bodhisattvas are like lotus flowers,
With roots of kindness,
stems of peace,
Petals of wisdom,
Fragance of conduct.
Buddha emanates the light of truth,
Causing them to bloom.

- Avatamsaka Sutra, Book 38: Detachment from the World

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Deaf, mute, and blind
already illuminating before it is said.
Manifesting the body as preaching,
saving all sentient beings.
- Dogen

In zen the moment
is timeless and all there is
cats seize it and play.

The inner tide
what moon does it follow?
I wait for a poem.
- Diane Di Prima

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Mind itself alone is the seed of everything.
Everything in conditioned existence
and nirvana unfolds from it.
Homage to mind,
which is like a wish-fulfilling gem
that grants the fruition of one's desires.

- Longchepa, The Precious Treasury of Philosophical Systems

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Tantra as the nature of buddhas
is distilled as the quintessence of the unique, sublime secret.
This is like a champion archer letting fly an arrow
to the far shore beyond samsara.
- The Vajra Tantra

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

When the current of thoughts is self-liberated
And the essence of dharma is known,
Everything is understood
And apparent phenomena
Are all the books one needs.

- Chogyam Trungpa, The Sadhana of Mahamudra

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

Moons and flowers,
these are the true ones,
the masters.
- Basho

[bilvil elhud @ImixKanBalam]

The moon of the light of knowledge of enlightening beings
Has the realm of reality for its sphere,
Coursing through ultimate emptiness,
Seen by all the world.
In the minds of consciousness of the three worlds,
It waxes and wanes through time.

- Avatamsaka Sutra, Book 38
