THE WISDOM OF SUTRAS

Sutras or 'pithy' sayings are pearls of wisdom . Here are two from Eastern Spiritual Traditions

' Every day the Priests minutely examine the DHARMA ( The WAY) and endlessly chant complicated SUTRAS ( Threads of Wisdom)

Before doing that, though, they should learn how to read love letters sent by the Wind, the Rain , the snow and moon'

Master Ikkyu ( Zen Buddhist 14th Century)

 

Clouds appear free of care and carefree drift away

But the carefree mind is not to be 'found'

To find it, first stop looking around
