  1. Hi, I am making a catalogue of AUTHENTIC Buddhist quotes for as a project. I am looking for ones that capture the essence of Buddhist teaching no matter if it is Zen, Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana. And of course I need the source please. Please see below for an example of the type of quotes I am looking for:
  2. This is probably the most in-depth translation of the DDJ to date: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364643573_The_Daodejing_A_2022_Translation
  3. Resources

    This is a link to what is probably the most in-depth translation of the Dao De Jing done yet: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364643573_The_Daodejing_A_2022_Translation
  4. Translators of the TTC

    This is a link the probably the most in-depth translation of the DDJ done thus far (its the whole DDJ too and for free): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/364643573_The_Daodejing_A_2022_Translation

  8. Buddha's Biography

    I reckon After Buddhism by Stephen Batchelor is best because it makes nothing up and has no bias.

  10. I just created a similar post to this. This paper kind of answers what you are asking: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359231046_A_Brief_Overview_Comparing_the_Core_Theories_Cultivation_Practices_and_the_Interrelationships_of_Buddhism_Daoism_Brahmanism_and_Yoga
  11. This paper basically states that Daoism and Yijing comes from Indo--Europeans. Is this even possible? Can this be true? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350522856_Indo-Europeans_in_the_Ancient_Yellow_River_Valley?_sg[1]=
  12. For those of you well experienced in Buddhism and the other arts. I'd like to open a discussion about the differences between the systems.

Would you agree? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/359231046_A_Brief_Overview_Comparing_the_Core_Theories_Cultivation_Practices_and_the_Interrelationships_of_Buddhism_Daoism_Brahmanism_and_Yoga?_sg[1]=
