EQI.org Home | Quotes Buddhist Aphorisms Below is part of a long list of aphorisms which one of our friends Brent Scott, has a personal goal of translating into as many languages as possible. If you would like to help him, please contact him at brentscottbrent <at> gmail.com. I have just copied a few of these here. (Some slightly edited). By the way, I don't consider myself a Buddhist and I don't agree with everything people who call themselves Buddhists believe. For example, another popular quote or aphorism is this one, which "Be grateful to those who have hit you for they have reduced your karmic obstacles". We also looked at the list of quotes on the source page and found some to be invalidating, like the one about karmic obstacles, whatever those are believed by some to be. The quotes I have selected below, however, feel helpful and true to me. In any case, we encourage people to use their own judgment, and listen to their feelings as well as trying to control them with thoughts. We feel worried that too many people are using thoughts and beliefs to avoid getting the messages we need from our negative or painful thoughts. S.
