| “Change is universal law, and we are all changing. Yet too many of us are still dragging our heels and resisting incremental change, while the world around us is changing exponentially. We are increasingly interconnected, and yet still maintain a mentally of fragmentation and isolationist egotism. It seems that advanced technologies can help solve more problems now, and faster. This is an age of social mobility and choices–the choice to speak up and participate, the choice to make a change, the choice to be a leader. I am far more interested in inculcating leadership than followership among my students and truth-seekers. Tie around your own head the leash that leads from the tip of your nose.”
– Lama Surya Das, from “New New Dharma Talks” |

| Truth Will Set Us Free
Liberation comes not by believing in the right set of tenets or of dogmatic assertions, or even necessarily by behaving in the right way. It’s insight, it’s wisdom, it’s knowing the nature of reality. It is only truth that will make us free. – Interview with B. Alan Wallace by James Shaheen, “What Is True Happiness?” |

| Challenge How We Cling
When Buddhism says, ‘It’s an illusion, it’s empty,’ I think back to when Ignatius said, ‘Your self–that’s your problem. You have to conquer self, kill the self.’ It’s that tradition, both in Christianity and in Buddhism, in which we are challenged to let go of what is so comfortable and what we cling to as who we are, if we’re going to open ourselves to reality and truth. – Jerry Brown, “Politics and Prayer” |

| The Wisdom of Generosity
The practice of generosity is a wisdom practice, because it’s aligning you with the real truth of things: what you think of as yours, as part of your identity, is only temporary. – Subhadramati, “Cutting the Threads” |

| Testing the Truth
So what is the test of truth? The Buddha offers a simple formula: Test things in terms of cause and effect. Whatever is unskillful, leading to harm and ill, should be abandoned; whatever is skillful, leading to happiness and peace, should be pursued. – Larry Rosenberg, “The Right to Ask Questions “ |

| The Goal of Every Religion
Zen is becoming one with all truths. It is easy to be misled by the word “zazen” and think that it refers to some special practice, but this is not the case. If the goal of all religious practice in the world is to become one with the truth, then this is all Zen. – Harada Sekkei Roshi, “Zen Basics “ |

| Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
