Tipitaka Pali Reader will soon have a quote of the day added to the startup screen. It will be similar to digitalpalireader.online .
However, we need quotes. I would like to include both inspiring quotes from the suttas or vinaya, but also quotes to promote CT core.
I think that
50% sutta mula quotes (especially stock or famous quotes)
10% from vinaya texts (including stories of the Buddha Mv)
40% abhidhamma and commentary quotes from stories or definitions etc.
Please respond with your favorites: You can also use digital pali reader to find random quotes you like as well. There is not much of a limit because we are seeking 365 quotes.
VISUDDHIMAGGA XVI 85 As long as a man is vague about the world, About its origin, about its ceasing, About the means that lead to its cessation, So long he cannot recognize the truths
Loke lokappabhave, lokatthagame sive ca tadupāye
Sammuyhati tāva naro, na vijānāti yāva saccānī"ti.
But this is the way that leads to the cessation of substantial reality.
