Unconditional
love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being.
It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I
love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s
love for no reason, love without an object.
If
I truly believe that Buddhism is for everyone, then I have to act that
way. It requires introspection and a commitment to weeding out
everything within that prevents that compassion and acceptance from
happening.
—Myokei Caine-Barrett, "A Right to the Dharma"
As
long as you give the Dharma to nourish others, it will be there. As
long as you are alive and are able to practice, this will be true.
—Sheng Yen, "Rich Generosity"
