Buddhist God Quotes

“…I told Jack I had nothing to say about his vision of God. I couldn’t believe in God myself. In his next letter, he lectured me a little. "When I said 'God' in my vision in the sea, I didn’t mean a bearded man in heaven. I meant 'that which passes through all.' …"

But I didn't believe in this Buddhist god either. My mind came up against a wall in these matters. The here and now was all I saw. I wanted to be happy in the here and now; to someday pull Jack into it with me, if I could.”
