>Teach us Zen Buddhism too Autumn Ren, I want to see more Alice reactions!
My favorites so far are the following:
Lin Chi told a monk, "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him."
What this one means to me is we shouldn't blindly follow beliefs and it's a red flag if we ever think we have all the answers.
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell." - Buddha
What this one means to me is that the war exists only in your mind, and the external wars are an illusion or delusion, and until that internal war is won, the external war will never end.
Lastly, suffering:
"the Four Noble Truths that are central to Buddhist philosophy: (1) Life is suffering, (2) attachment to desire causes suffering, (3) suffering ends with the attachment to desire, and (4) the Eightfold Path is the path to liberation from suffering."
