Buddha Quote

Much Ado About NothingI would think the world is a case of "much ado about nothing."
Wars are fought and forgotten. What we want we get sometimes, and
we soon forget we have them or wanted them... Nothing is
ultimately important. This is an aspect of emptiness, things come
and go, our desires and hates are fickle. Nothing is concrete
enough for you to hold on to or give you lasting happiness. And
nothing is concrete enough to hold on to you to give you lasting
suffering. Letting go leads to True Happiness. Life is then easy
and tolerable for the average Buddhist who understands his
personal roots of suffering...Then, why is there a "need" to
aspire towards the ultimate fruit of Buddhahood? It is simple-so
that you can save the countless other beings out there who
understand not, that their craving and hatred, out of their
delusions, are much ado about nothing. This need in you that you
will feel, to become Buddhas, arises out of Compassion. This is
the preciousness of Compassion. It creates Buddhas-that creates
countless more Buddhas. It is not much ado about anything at all!
It has to do with everything that is precious.
