Choose a letter: 
Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt.
Gilbert K. Chesterton, English Writer (1874-1936)
Well, I'm Buddhist, Ray, and so part of my Buddhism has allowed me to look a little more deeply at people and the events in my life that created me. And I think a lot of that Buddhism comes out in the world view in this novel.
Sandra Cisneros, American Author (1954-  )
Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.
Richard Gere, American Actor (1949-  )
When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.
Richard Gere, American Actor (1949-  )
A text of Tibetan Buddhism describes the time of death as a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth and a period that determines our next incarnation.
Stanislav Grof, Czechoslovakian Psychologist (1931-  )
One thing that attracted me to Buddhism was the support for this larger vision of values.
Herbie Hancock, American Musician (1940-  )
I feel a lot more secure about the directions I take, than I might have, had I not practiced Buddhism.
Herbie Hancock, American Musician (1940-  )
Many spiritual teachers - in Buddhism, in Islam - have talked about first-hand experience of the world as an important part of the path to wisdom, to enlightenment.
Bell Hooks, American Critic (1952-  )
I spend more time learning about Buddhism than English, which is why my English today is still bad.
Jet Li, Chinese Actor (1963-  )
I never stopped studying Buddhism. In the past few years, in between movies, I do a retreat.
Jet Li, Chinese Actor (1963-  )
Buddhism has become a socially recognized religious philosophy for Americans, whereas it used to be considered an exotic religion.
Thurston Moore, American Musician (1958-  )
The reasons why I left were to do with my interest in Buddhism. There were experiences over a period of about six months which caused me to decide to give up music, so one morning I felt I had to go to E.G. Management and tell them.
Jamie Muir, -
A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
William Winwood Reade, Scottish Historian
Mary, my little girl, was confirmed in a Buddhist temple. She saw the Life write up on Buddhism, with pictures of the ceremony, and she said she wanted to be confirmed there because she only liked Jesus as a kid. She was a little disappointed in him when he grew up.
Kenneth Rexroth, American Poet (1905-1982)
I try to make sure that the Buddhism is more or less implicit in the music rather than explicit.
Duncan Sheik, American Musician (1969-  )
Buddhism teaches you to embrace change.
Koo Stark, American Actress (1956-  )
There are things that I value now that I didn't when I first went over there, like Zen Buddhism, which has become part of my life over the last couple years.
Matthew Sweet, American Musician (1964-  )
Zen Buddhism is a discipline where belief isn't necessary.
David Sylvian, English Musician (1958-  )
Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.
Uma Thurman, American Actress (1970-  )
In Buddhism there are words you can say... as you say the words with rhythm the conscious tells the subconscious.
Tina Turner, American Musician (1939-  )
