If we have...presence of mind then whatever work we do will be the very tool which enables us to know right and wrong continually. There's plenty of time to meditate, we just don't fully understand the practice, that's all. While sleeping we breathe, eating we breathe, don't we? Why don't we have time to meditate? Wherever we are we breathe. If we think like this then our life has as much value as our breath, wherever we are we have time.
- Ajahn Chah, "Taste of Freedom"
In Buddhism, the source of moral authority is the causal law. Be kind, be just, be humane, be honest if you desire to crown your future. Dishonesty, cruelty, inhumanity will condemn you to a miserable fall.
- Soyen Shaku
Genuine compassion is unbiased.
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama
As long as you have not realized the great principle that permeates all, it is essential that speech and action should support each other. Do not hold to the intellectual understanding of others; turn the light of awareness back to the root, and it is not there at all.
- Pao-chih
No village law, no law of market town, No law of a single house is this Of all the world and the worlds of gods This only is the Law, that all things are impermanent.
- "Buddhist Parables," translated by E.W. Burlingame
Knowing this body is like a clay jar, securing this mind like a fort, attack Mara with the spear of discernment, then guard what's won without settling there, without laying claim.
- Dhammapada, 3, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
