Sitting under the Bodhi Tree

This book has over 450 Buddhist quotes and quotes inspired by Buddhism, especially compiled and rewritten to suit today's modern world and to guide you through your year, if not every year. It is intentional that there is no index, that is so you can either read these quotes, one page at a time or, as I suggest, randomly select a page each day to find your motivation, insight or inspiration. Many of the quotes in this book originated from the original Buddha scriptures. Some are modern variations or even misquotes that have taken root, some have been coined by many practising Buddhists, and there are many of my own Buddhism inspired quotes. Whatever their source, just to reduce some of the wordiness and bring them into the modern day, I have rewritten many of them to reach a wider audience. So, whether you follow the philosophy of Buddhist teachings or not, I am sure that you will benefit from the Buddhist and Buddhism inspired quotes, and the simple messages they all contain.
