Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Chanting Purely
Srila Prabhupada gave us the practical service of distributing his books, and therefore we are able to assist him in spreading Lord Krishna's glories everywhere. That service is not meant to make us proud or to draw us away from the heart of our practice; it is meant to help us increase our attraction for hearing and chanting.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 2.14, Germany, June 21, 1974
Buddha philosophy is that your feeling of pains and pleasure, it is due to this body. They also accept. Now what is this body? This body is combination of matter: combination of earth, water, air, fire, ether, mind, intelligence, ego - eight material elements, five gross and three subtle. This body is made of that. So the Buddha philosophy is that you dismantle this body, nirvana. Just like this house is made of stone, brick and wood and so many. So you break it, and there is no more stone and no more brick. This is distributed to the earth. Throw it on the earth, then there is no house. Similarly, if you become zero, no body, then you are free from pains and pleasure. This is their philosophy, nirvana philosophy, sunyavadi: "Make it zero."
