Buddha Quote

Friday March 13, 2026

Giving Chance
Part of being a Bodhisattva is being able to give oneself (and
others) chances again and again. It means being kind enough to be
able to forgive oneself despite one's own repeated mistakes,
believing that beneath all the unskillful action is perfection
waiting to surface. One who aspires to be a Bodhisattva is to
treasure the chances one gives oneself. One is not to take the
chances one gives oneself for granted-or one subsequently lets
oneself (and all others?), and one's Buddha Nature down. When
it comes to others however, even when they do not treasure the
chances you give them in helping them to help themselves, you
should never give up. This has to be the toughest part of the
Bodhisattva career! This is where the practice of the perfection
of patience comes in. Strive on, all Bodhisattva wannabes! Give
others infinite chance, but to yourself, it is better to be more
definite and firm!

We offer Daily Buddha Quotes & Meditations for a more peaceful life. The quotes of Buddha you see
here are interpretations of Buddist concepts. As we know, there are many Buddhas, as well as many incarnations
of Buddha. The quotes of Buddha we publish here may not be exact words, but perhaps they are -- there may be
an incarnation of the Buddha right next to you, but you haven't recognized the Enlightened One yet!
