Buddhist Stories: The Story of Ananda, the Names of Hells, and the Praise of the Buddha, Part 8 of 11 Aug. 10, 2015

“Master, how do You create that burning resolve for liberation? that iron determination for enlightenment, how do You create that within Yourself?” “Oh, I don't know. It's just there, I didn't create it. I love God, I want to find God, I want to share God's secret with everybody. So, I just went. I had no second thoughts on why and how come. Just do it. Then I just wanted to find God and Buddha in order to have some power to help myself and others. Just like that. If you really think God or realization of God is all that you want, then that's what you will find.” “We have many beings on this planet, and below and invisible as well. They are to be respected and treated as thus. Like we have animals, we respect them, love them. We have black skin, white skin, red skin, yellow skin, we respect them all, just different species. It doesn't mean that he's not enlightened.”
