• Conoces la pregunta zen: "El Bodhisattva de la Gran Misericordia" tiene mil manos y mil ojos; "¿cuál es el verdadero ojo?". Durante mucho tiempo no pude comprenderlo. Pero el otro día, al contemplar los pinos que se inclinaban ante las ráfagas frías de la montaña, comprendí de repente su significado. Como ves, todas las ramas, ramitas y hojas se doblan simultáneamente ante el viento con un vigor tremendo.

• Puedo esperar que esta larga y triste historia, esta progresión de sacerdotes y ministros y rabinos y ulamas e imanes y bonzos y bodhisattvas, llegue a su fin. Espero que la ciencia pueda contribuir a ello... quizá sea la contribución más importante que podamos hacer.

• ¿Es esto lo que tienes en mente -pregunté a Dalai Lama- cuando dices en las enseñanzas que los budas y bodhisattvas del mundo son los seres más egoístas de todos, que cultivando el altruismo alcanzan en realidad la felicidad última para sí mismos? Sí. Eso es de sabios egoístas', respondió. Ayudar a los demás no significa que lo hagamos a nuestra costa. No es así. Budas y bodhisattvas, estas personas son muy sabias. Toda su vida sólo quieren una cosa: alcanzar la felicidad última. ¿Cómo lograrlo? Cultivando la compasión, cultivando el altruismo.

• In Buddhism, we say reincarnation is the conscious taking of rebirth by a Bodhisattva, or by a high being, whereas rebirth, is what most people do. Rebirth is an involuntary process where they seek traction by finding a new body after their subtle mind loses the old one. There are two things commonly said about this. One- there is no evidence for it and two- if there is evidence, what's the mechanism which carries the consciousness from one life to another.

• I could draw ideas. I remember writing a paper for a seminar class. I remember writing a paper about - and this is going to sound really sort of pretentious, but that's where my mind was at the time - how acting and the performing artist can really be like a Bodhisattva, how they can communicate ultimately an idea in a way that can move and shift things. And that was wonderful. I didn't know many classes where I could try and relate the thing that I really loved and wanted to do into an intellectual idea, and that happened to be one of them.

• La idea del Bodhisattva es la de aquel que, desde su realización de la trascendencia, participa en el mundo. La imitación de Cristo es la participación gozosa en las penas del mundo.

• Once renunciation and the awakened mind have been fully realized, the way to Buddhahood is clear. Liberation is complete and such liberated beings are then Bodhisattvas and Buddhas: "enlightened ones," or "empty dwellers." Their usefulness to others both before and after their physical death, is impossible to conceive. They are nothing but useful energy leading to liberation for all beings still caught in conditioned existence.

• We have compassion because of the incredible pain and suffering which we as unenlightened beings cause to ourselves and all others through our ignorance. This is why we're trying to get out. This is why the bodhisattva has meaning. Because we're saying, no we won't get out, we won't escape until we've helped all other beings to escape, but most other beings don't even want to escape. They don't even know that there is an escape, and it's hard, so it's going to take an awfully long time.

• Sepan que los hombres de facultades embotadas y escasa sabiduría, Los que se aferran orgullosamente a los signos, No pueden creer en este Dharma. Ahora yo, alegre e intrépidamente, En medio de los bodhisattvas Desechando francamente mis expeditivos artificios, Predico simplemente el Camino Inexcelible.

• En NewVillager no hay un tú, sino un nosotros. A partir de ahora, tu trabajo será el de un bodhisattva, un gurú, un docente con los dientes separados que siente algo muy serio por la madre de Whistler. Habrá otros, más novatos que tú, que nunca tuvieron ninguna oportunidad. Sólo a través de ellos tendrás alguna esperanza de seguir tus pasos hasta donde empezaste.

• Do not be a bodhisattva, do not be an arahant, do not be anything at all. If you are a bodhisattva, you will suffer, if you are an arahant, you will suffer, if you are anything at all, you will suffer.

• Pure Spirit, one hundred degrees proof - that's a drink that only the most hardened contemplation-guzzlers indulge in. Bodhisattvas dilute their Nirvana with equal parts of love and work.
