Big B

My love to the footless,
my love to the two-footed,
my love to the four-footed,
my love to the many-footed.
All sentient beings, all breathing things,
creatures without exception,
let them all see good things, may no evil befall them.
~ The Buddha



The greatest mastery is self-mastery"-the Buddha

"There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare."Sun Tzu

“Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death” Miyamoto Musashi

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
”Bruce lee

"I am the light that is over all things. from me all comes forth, and through me all attained.Split a piece of wood, lift up a stone and I am there,not contained in walls of stone and brick"
Jesus Christ


"I know what I have to do,I have to keep breathing,because tomorrow the sun 
will rise,and who knows what the tide will bring"
Tom hanks in Castaway





Shakyamuni Buddha was not a Taoist. He did not teach Taoism. He did not teach Buddhism. He taught the Middle Way. The Tao cannot be spoken. The Buddha spoke of Four Noble Truths. The Tao cannot be described. The Buddha described the Noble Eightfold Path. Taoism teaches non-duality. The Buddha taught skillful means that discern between good and evil without getting caught in dualities. Taoism embraces an eternal balance between good and evil. The Buddha taught the end of suffering and way of complete release from good and evil. The Buddha was not a Taoist.
