Why Buddha?
Buddha is my symbol — because all sentient beings carry the Buddha-nature.
But I am not Buddha.
I am a student of Buddha, practicing this statement in the true sense of the word.
The Buddha is the only one who encourages us to recognize the true meaning of our humanity — and to realize it.
I am a student of Buddha.
By essence, we are all becoming-Buddhas.
On the path there, we are Bodhisattvas — awakening beings.
„Are you awakened? Are you enlightened?"
All sentient beings are awakened — without being aware of it.
And I? I still practice within it.
Prajña.
Prajña — the wisdom that with, beside — and yet above compassion, equanimity, and loving-kindness stands.
The Buddha-mind carries these four within itself and transcends them at once.
„Would you make no profit with Buddha?"
Your mind reflects what you think of people.
To me, whoever asks this question is themselves a becoming-Buddha.
The teaching of Buddha is not a religion — it is a philosophy.
We do not confuse the symbol of peace with religious dogma.
Whoever abuses it has history already against them.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.
