The OpenSource Temple addresses the spiritual and physical needs of the faithful by removing obstacles to their happiness and providing them with a safe nurturing environment in which to live and thrive.
We preach reason and teach neo-Buddhism.
We teach the Four Noble Truths
— the truth of its origin,
— the truth of its cessation,
— the truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity,
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.
You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness.
You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
“No, brahmin,” said the Blessed One.
“Are you a saint?”
“No, brahmin,” said the Blessed One.
“Are you a magician?”
“No, brahmin,” said the Blessed One.
“What are you then?”
“I am awake”
Having two ears and one mouth,
we should listen twice as much as we speak.
The war we fight is not against powers and principalities; it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in suffering
~ Buddha, Dhammapada Verse 77
The journey is not about the destination.
Similarly, someone who does not search – who does not bring a lantern – sees nothing. What we perceive as God is the by-product of our search for God. It may simply be an appreciation of the light… pure and unblemished… not understanding that it comes from us. Sometimes we stand in front of the light and assume that we are the center of the universe – God looks astonishingly like we do – or we turn to look at our shadow and assume that all is darkness. If we allow ourselves to get in the way, we defeat the purpose, which is to use the light of our search to illuminate the wall in all its beauty and in all its flaws; and in so doing, better understand the world around us

A fool from his own.

Not going all the way,
