Stephen Batchelor Quotes About Heart

Quotes about: Heart

• This body is fragile. It is just flesh. Listen to the heartbeat. Life depends on the pumping of a muscle.

  Heart, Body, Flesh

  Stephen Batchelor (1998). “Buddhism without Beliefs: A Contemporary Guide to Awakening”, p.27, Penguin

• I reject karma and rebirth not only because I find them unintelligible, but because I believe they obscure and distort what the Buddha was trying to say. Rather than offering the balm of consolation, the Buddha encouraged us to peer deep and unflinchingly into the heart of the bewildering and painful experience that life can so often be.

• A compassionate heart still feels anger, greed, jealousy, and other such emotions. But it accepts them for what they are with equanimity, and cultivates the strength of mind to let them arise and pass without identifying with or acting upon them.
