Since Buddhist Masters of Modern China: The Lives and Legacies of Eight Eminent Teachers is a recent or upcoming scholarly anthology, specific famous quotes from the book aren’t widely circulated yet. However, the book highlights teachings and writings from renowned Buddhist masters like Xuyun, Taixu, and Hongyi, whose works contain many profound statements.
I can share some representative quotes attributed to these masters or reflective of their teachings that might appear in or inspire the book’s content:
Representative Quotes from Buddhist Masters Featured
1. Xuyun (虛雲)
-
“The mind is like a mirror. It must be cleaned continuously.”
-
“True practice is to cultivate the mind wholeheartedly.”
2. Taixu (太虛)
-
“Buddhism must reform itself to meet the needs of the modern world.”
-
“Compassion and wisdom are the two wings that allow Buddhism to soar.”
3. Hongyi (弘一)
-
“In emptiness, there is form; in form, there is emptiness.”
-
“Let go of attachments to find true freedom.”
4. Yinguang (印光)
-
“Pure land is not a distant place, but a state of mind.”
If you want, I can dig into their writings more deeply or provide more detailed excerpts inspired by these masters’ teachings, which likely form the backbone of the book’s chapters.
Would you like me to find more quotes from a particular master or about a specific theme like meditation, compassion, or reform?
