“What I really feel is most sacred in Buddhism isn’t one thing exterior of you. Not a shrine, not a statue, not a textual content. However moderately, what’s most sacred is an consciousness, your consciousness, when it has nothing exterior. There’s nothing exterior, nothing which is unacceptable for it, nothing which is shut out from it. The whole lot is allowed to be there in your consciousness. When consciousness is all-inclusive, with no exterior, I feel that’s sacred.” – Gil Fronsdal
