Truth knows neither birth nor death

“Truth knows neither birth nor death; it has no beginning and no end. Welcome the truth. The truth is the immortal part of mind. Establish the truth in your mind, for the truth is the image of the eternal; it portrays the immutable; it reveals the everlasting; the truth gives unto mortals the boon of immortality.”

“Buddha Mani has proclaimed the truth; let the truth of Mani dwell in your hearts. Extinguish in yourselves every desire that antagonizes the Buddha, and in the perfection of your spiritual growth you will become like unto him. That of your heart which cannot or will not develop into Buddha must perish, for it is mere illusion and unreal; it is the source of your error; it is the cause of your misery.”

“If we liberate our souls from our petty selves, wish no ill to others, and become clear as a crystal diamond reflecting the light of truth, what a radiant picture will appear in us mirroring things as they are, without the admixture of burning desires, without the distortion of erroneous illusion, without the agitation of clinging and unrest.”

“Let us take our refuge in the community of those who seek the truth and endeavor to live in the truth.”

“Stand Together Each One of You”

“A man that stands alone, having decided to obey the truth, may be weak and slip back into his old ways. Therefore, stand together each one of you, assist one another, and strengthen one another’s efforts. Be like brothers to one another; one in love, one in holiness, and one in your zeal for the truth.”

“Spread the truth and teach the doctrine in all quarters of the world, so that in the end all living creatures will be citizens of the Kingdom of Righteousness. This is the holy brotherhood; this is the assembly, the congregation of the saints of Buddha Mani; this is the Assembly that establishes a communion among all those who have taken their refuge in the Truth.”
