Crowley says the greatest mystery is not that 0=1 or that something comes from nothing. It’s that initially 0=2. Out of nothing a relationship arises. Very basically this is similar to what Buddhism is saying. What initially arises is an interdependence not a single object.
84000.co/translation/toh46?t… - The Anantavyūha Sūtra from the Mahāratnakūṭasūtra - Very important early Dharani Sutra first translated in China in 716. Should be read by all practitioners of Mantra and those interested in Early esoteric Buddhism and Vajrayana.
The Four Relicenses "Monks the doctrine is found in meaning not the words. It is found in the teachings not the individual. It is found in the pristine awareness not in consciousness, It is found in the definitive meaning no in the provisional one." - Sutra on Great Perfect Peace
Often times people frame the First Nobel truth as life is suffering, or the world is suffering. It is important to understand though the first truth is not a statement about life or the world. It is simply the truth of suffering.
At least this is what much of the teaching is getting at. Buddhism is not really pessimism as it is often portrayed. It is thing about controlling and understanding the nature of the mind.
This one also came out good focusing more on the Tibetan tradition. Also for those interested in starting to practice deity meditations or Padmasambhava practices and others.

"The water of the Tathāgata’s wisdom is also like this: Flowing from the true realm of reality (dharmadhātu) into the world, It moistens various concentrations (samādhi) and gives rise to the factors of the path, Developing the great fruits and benefiting all living beings."
Interesting Bit in the Sutra of Queen Śrīmālā. Is interesting that that almost no one mentions this passage but is understandable as it goes against what many think.
