Awakening to the Sacred Quotes

The dog barking, the sound of the purling stream, the wind among the weeping willow trees: how are these not right off the tongue of the Buddha?" --Lama Surya Das”

“Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. RALPH WALDO EMERSON”
