“While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.” ~Dorothea Lange

“Buddhism is atheistic in the sense that a creator God is not accepted; rather, Buddhism presents a view of self-creation, that one’s own actions create one’s life situations. In this light, it has been said that Buddhism is not a religion, but a science of the mind.”

14th Dalai Lama

(via mirabilis78)

Oddly though, all the Buddhists I live among worship Buddha himself as a God and pray to him for good fortune and money. They do so in temples. Statues are worshipped, too, and people wear magic amulets for good luck. It has an established clergy and is referred to as the “state religion.” A strange “science of the mind.” If it quacks like a duck, walks like…well, you get the idea.

This is why Chan (more ancient view of Tao and the Zen portion of Buddhism) are more closely aligned.
