Buddhist Quotes On Impermanence

It's like when you look at a sheet of paper and look deeply, you can see that the paper is made of trees and sunshine and earth and clouds, and even before the manifestation of the sheet of paper in this present form, you can only see the sheet of paper in the non-paper elements that existed before.

"The point isn't to become a Buddhist; it's to become a buddha." – Jack Kornfield (this was on the panel with Duncan and Raghu)

I had a vivid near-death experience that involved a voice asking, "Do you want to continue leading Garry Shandling's life?" Without thinking, I said, "Yes." Since then, I've been stuck living in the physical world while knowing, without a doubt, that there's something much more meaningful within it all. He said, "You know when you're funny.

Not just physical things, but so too with intangibles such as our forms of awareness; including our thoughts, ideas, feelings, concepts, states of minds, mental energies, and all of our relationships too.

How Make Difficult Decisions: Advice From Alvin York

Taking a lesson learned from his duck hunting days – that picking off the one in the rear rather than the leader caught the group by surprise — York took out the last man in the line first, and then made his way to the front, leveling each German in turn with a single bullet.

Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. DListed , "Today In Not-Great Decisions" , "Today In Not-Great Decisions" Thanks to a little thing called The Internet, finding out if you’re about to perform for a dictator-type has never been easier.

Doug: When I first got into the habit of ending every edition of The International Speculator (and later The Casey Report) with a quote – starting in the 1990s – I almost always referred to at least one of my four favorite modern philosophers—Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Edward Gibbon, and H.L. Mencken. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved ."
