They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope!

This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the "discoverability" is the only error here. Thomas Carlyle

buddhism men garden
A handful of men working within the Zen sect of Buddhism created gardens in fifteenth-century Japan which were, and still are, far more than merely an aesthetic expression. And what is left of the earlier Mogul gardens in India suggests that their makers were acquainted with what lay behind the flowering of the Sufi movement in High Asia and so sought to add further dimensions to their garden scenes. Russell Page
buddhist men thinking
The word mantra comes from two Sanskrit words man, ("to think") and tra ("tool'). So the literal translation is "a tool of thought."

Because when you focus on repeating that mantra over and over again, soon the noise will die down and all you will hear is your inner voice. Russell Simmons

buddhist teaching buddhism
Hinduism threw away Buddhism after taking its sap. The attempt of all the Southern Acharyas was to effect a reconciliation between the two. Shankaracharya's teaching shows the influence of Buddhism.

buddhist thinking desire
The word desire suggests that there is something we do not have. If we have everything already, then there can be no desire, for there is nothing left to want.
