Avatamsaka Sutra - 264, 265

Even in inconceivably many billions of eons
An enlightened guide of the world is hard to meet;
The beings of this land are very fortunate
That now they can see their second Buddha.

The Buddha’s body emanates great light
With physical forms boundless and totally pure,
Filling all lands like clouds,
Everywhere extolling the Buddha’s virtues.

All illumined by the light rejoice,
Beings in distress are all relieved,
All are induced to respect and kindness:
This is the work of the Buddha’s power.

Producing inconceivable clouds of mystic displays,
Emanating network of lights of infinite colors
Filling all lands in the ten directions:
These are manifestations of Buddha’s mental powers.

From each hair pore appear clouds of light
Filling all space, emitting great sound:
All dark places are illumined,
Causing the pains of hell to disappear.

Buddha’s wondrous voice pervades everywhere,
Fully producing all sounds of speech,
According to the power of beings’ standing goodness:
This is a function of the Teacher’s mystic power.

Measureless, boundless, the oceans of assemblies:
Buddha appears within each one,
Expounding the inexhaustible truth for all of them,
Harmoniously pacifying sentient beings.

Buddha’s mystic powers have no end,
Appearing in every single land;
Such is the Buddha’s knowledge, unimpeded:
He attains enlightenment to benefit all beings.

You should all be joyful;
Dance, delight, and pay respect.
I will go with you there:
If one see the Buddha, all miseries will cease.

Arouse your minds to seek enightenment,
Kindly care for all living beings,
Abide by the great vows of universal goodness,
And you will attain freedom like the King of Truth.

We seek the fire of the spark that is already within us.

An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.

Krishnamurti

I don’t mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you’ll feel good no matter what.

- Amritbindu Upanishad

"That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings, who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being -- I am that."

~Anon I mus (Spiritually Anonymous)

You must die in order to be reborn (as pure consciousness), otherwise you will continue to remain a limited, suffering individual.

Learn the mystical art of consciously dying to your egoic sense of an ‘identity’ (imagined someonehood), so that you can reclaim the unbounded joy of your Nobodiness (no-self, emptiness). 

Tripura Rahasya, XX: 58-62

Supreme wisdom is that which puts an end to the sense of non-self once for all. Non-dual realisation admits nothing unknown or unknowable and pervades everything in entirety so that it cannot in any way be transcended. When that is accomplished, the intellect becomes quite clear because all doubts have been destroyed; and then the predispositions of the mind are destroyed, though any remnants of these that may remain are as harmless as a fangless viper.

~ Robert Adams

"If you are sincere in your quest, you will find that all of a sudden happiness, bliss, joy, begin to become your friends. You put all your trust in the universal. You no longer look to the world for your good, for you begin to understand that the happiness you've been looking for, you already are, and the quest really begins. The yogas, prayers, meditations, are a way to come to reality, but the way to understand the Self is through self-inquiry."

~Paramahansa Yogananda

"Compassion toward all beings is necessary for
divine realization, for God Himself is overflowing
with this quality.Those with a tender heart can put
themselves in the place of others, feel their suffering,
and try to alleviate it."

ZEN ENLIGHTENMENT IN A NUTSHELL

"Late one night a female Zen adept was carrying water in an old wooden bucket when she happened to glance across the surface of the water and saw the reflection of the moon. As she walked the bucket began to come apart and the bottom of the pail broke through, with the water suddenly disappearing into the soil beneath her feet and the moon's reflection disappearing along
with it. In that instant the young woman realized that the moon she had been looking at was just a reflection of the real thing...just as her whole life had been. She turned to look at the moon in all it's silent glory, her mind was ripe, and that was it...Enlightenment."
CHIYONO-- NO MOON, NO WATER

Ramana Maharshi

“Your thinking that you have to make an effort to get rid of this dream of the waking state, and your making efforts to attain jnana (realization of Self) or real awakening, are all parts of the dream.”
