"Be Yourself....everyone else is taken."

HANNAH LLOYD:

You can choose whatever path or combo of paths you want.

The truth and the path reside inside us.  That is the dharma.

You can be Buddhist if you say you are.  No ceremony required, no creed, no vows to take.

(Unless you want to be a monk).  It seems like a good idea to get some instruction on practices that help me in my daily life

so that I can be helpful to others.  

The Tibetans would say, I think, that one should look for a teacher and see if you have a strong connection to what they are 

teaching.

This has worked for me.

I like the quote from Oscar Wilde who said "Be Yourself....everyone else is taken."

To bring true happiness to one's family, to all, just control one's own mind.

"To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."

Unity of life

"He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye."

 

  ~The B

Mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness.

"The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness."

 

  ~The B

It is not how much you say, it is what you say.

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace."

 

  ~The B

Our life is the creation of our mind.

"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind."
