Freedom Buddhist Scripture
Tags Associated with article
There is no fire like greed
No crime like hatred
No sorrow like separation
No sickness like hunger of heart
And no joy like the joy of freedom
Look within
Be still
Free from fear and attachment,
Know the sweet joy of living in the way
Adapted from the Dhammapada
trans. Thomas Byrom

The true goal:
Hence, the purpose of the Holy Life does not consist in acquiring alms, honour, or fame, nor in gaining morality, concentration, or the eye of knowledge. That unshakable deliverance of the heart: that, indeed, is the object of the Holy Life, that is its essence, that is its goal.
Word of the Buddha (page 47)

Inscribed on the Believing Mind
The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however,
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
If you wish to see the truth
then hold no opinions for or against anything.
To set up what you like against what you dislike
is the disease of the mind.
When the deep meaning of things is not understood
the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail.
