Buddhist Thought of the Day

Subhuti asked: "You say, Honored One, that a follower of the way does not need to build up goodness and happiness. Why is that?"

The Buddha replied: "Subhuti, a true follower will express goodness and happiness but will not be caught up in the concepts of goodness and happiness. That is why I say that he does not need to build up goodness and happiness, which would only be concept traps, for goodness and happiness will be there without any idea of them."

-Diamond Sutra
