some famous buddhist quotes - Plenum - 04-08-2012
who knows if the Buddha said these or not; I guess their value rises and falls on the vibration that they carry.

what Ra said about the Buddha:
Quote:47.18 The violet-ray body may perhaps be understood as what you might call the Buddha body or that body which is complete.
Quote:42.14 the choosing of personally inspirational images is appropriate whether this inspiration be the rose which is of perfect beauty, the cross which is of perfect sacrifice, the Buddha which is the All-being in One, or whatever else may inspire the individual.
namaste friends

My favorite Buddhist parable is a story about loss and misfortune becoming a true blessing.
The basic story is this:
A poor farmer relied on his only horse to plow his fields and carry his goods to market. One night, during a storm, the horse escaped from its coral. The farmer, upon waking in the morning, fell to his knees in desparation and agony. The next day, the horse returned with three wild horses which were the finest he had ever seen.
A short time after, the farmer's only son was thrown off one of the horses and broke his knee. The farmer depended on his son to help with the chores. He cried out in confusion, "why do terrible things keep happening to me?" The next, day a local warlord was taking all able-bodied men into battle. Upon seeing the son's broken knee, he departed. The battle was lost and many farmers lost their children. The farmer realized how truly blessed he was.
