Thomas Merton Quotes

Buddhist Philosophy Is An Interpretation Of Ordinary Human Experience, But An Interpretation Which Is Not Revealed By God Nor Discovered In The Access Of Inspiration Nor Seen In A Mystical Light. Basically, Buddhist Metaphysics Is A Very Simple And Natural Elaboration Of The Implications Of Buddha's Own Experience Of Enlightenment. Buddhism Does Not Seek Primarily To Understand Or To "believe In" The Enlightenment Of Buddha As The Solution To All Human Problems, But Seeks An Existential And Empirical Participation In That Enlightenment Experience. It Is Conceivable That One Might Have The "enlightenment" Without Being Aware Of Any Discursive Philosophical Implications At All.
