The Sutra of the Vast, Great, Perfect, Full Unimpeded Great Compassion Heart Dharani: 0 of 6


Buddhism is not a religion …
Buddhism is not a philosophy …
Buddhism is an education
And it’s not necessary to abandon
One’s nationality or religion to learn it.

Buddhism lets us know a
Clear understanding of the
Environment and ourselves
It allows a complete undertstanding
Of life and the universe.

Becoming an arahant is equivalent
To earning a bachelor degree.
Becoming a bodhisattva is
Equivalent to earning a master degree.
Becoming a Buddha is equivalent
To earning a Doctorate degree.”
