Why Buddhism Quotes

“...these absurd mental fluctuations that I call me.”
― Vicki Mackenzie, Why Buddhism: Westerners in Search of Wisdom

“No one ever teaches us how to change from an angry to a non-angry person. No one ever tells us that anger causes 'you' suffering and is not helpful. That it stops 'your' peace of mind and everybody else's. It's never talked about in a practical way, only a moralistic way.”
― Vicki Mackenzie, Why Buddhism: Westerners in Search of Wisdom

“He knows he only has the choice of going crazy or going inside and finding his own mind, which is what Buddhism is all about. Buddhism maintains that one's reality is part of one's own mindset, and that through discovering your own mind, even in the direst situations you can make your world a pure realm.”
