Quotes by Paul L. Swanson  (?)

“the purpose of Buddhism is clarity; it is a search for clarity. To feel clearly, so as to avoid damaging passionate attachments; to see clearly, so as to be able to respond to circumstances in a positive and healthy way; to think clearly, so as to act with wisdom and compassion. One should advance from darkness to light, from debilitating attachments to true liberation, from ignorance (Skt. avidya; 無明) to a knowing wisdom (Skt. bodhi; 明), from blind selfishness to insightful compassion.”
Paul L. Swanson, In Search of Clarity: Essays on Translation and Tiantai Buddhism
