"To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances.
To seek Him, the greatest adventure.
To find him, the greatest human achievement."

- St. Augustine

the thoughts of the buddhists

When one does what Buddhas do, one is a Buddha.
When one does what Bodhisattvas do, one is a Bodhisattva.
When one does what Arhats do, one is an Arhat.
When one does what ghosts do, one is a ghost.
These are all natural phenomena.
There are no shortcuts in cultivation.
-Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

Although gold dust is precious, when it gets in your eyes, it obstructs your vision.
-Hsi-Tang

Thus we see that the all-important thing is not killing or giving life, drinking or not drinking, living in the town or the country, being lucky or unlucky, winning or losing. It is how we win, how we lose, how we live or die; finally, how we choose. We walk, and our religion is shown (even to the dullest and most insensitive person), in how we walk. Living in this world means choosing, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself.
-R. H. Blyth

Me personally, I go with Buddha when he states :

Kindness towards all things is the true religion.

I agree...
Im not a buddhist, but a lot of their teachings really make you think!
Not just about religion, but life itself... not like the way the bible has made me think about life...

take it easy

i tried on buddhism in my teens. it was too passive for me, but there is a ton of good philosophy there! i find it all (that is - all that i´ve read) to be very insightful and... valuable. for everyone. buddhist or non-buddhist.
