The Truth

The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought, and the greatest truths are the simplest. The truth is always the truth, you can't change that with an edict. Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. Ignorance may deride it. But in the end, there it is. People can’t change truth, but the truth can change people.

Cease from practice based on intellectual understanding, pursuing words, and following after speech, and learn the backward step that turns your light inward to illuminate your Self. Body and mind of themselves will drop away, and your original face will be manifest. - Dogen

A perception, sudden as blinking, that subject and object are one, will lead to a deeply mysterious understanding; and by this understanding you will awaken to the truth. - Huang Po

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. - Mahatma Gandhi

All worldly pursuits have but the one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow: acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings, in destruction; meetings, in separation; births, in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building, and, faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about realizing the Truth. - Milarepa

When the love of truth rules in the heart, the light of truth will guide the practice. - Benjamin Whichcote
