Instead of sitting there worried about whether you are getting the right rates for your life insurance policy let's start the weekend off with a happy thought!

We love trying to locate new sayings, thoughts and whatevers to share with our readers. It is like a personal quest for the staff to try to come up with a list for a complete week. Each week we look at all the quotes that have been compiled and then try, and I mean try as it is hard, to choose the weeks thoughts! It's fun and entertaining for us along with thought provoking as well!

Here is Friday's Thoughts:

As all things are buddha-dharma, there is delusion and realization, practice, and birth and death, and there are buddhas and sentient beings. As the myriad things are without an abiding self, there is no delusion, no realization, no buddha, no sentient being, no birth and death. The buddha way is, basically, leaping clear of the many and the one; thus there are birth and death, delusion and realization, sentient beings and buddhas. Yet in attachment blossoms fall, and in aversion weeds spread.
