- This one life has no form and is empty by
nature. If you become attached to any form, you
should reject it. If you see an ego, a soul, a
birth or a death, reject them all. - Bodhidharma
- When you are silent, it speaks;
When you speak, it is silent. - Yoka
- When no discriminating thoughts arise,
the old mind ceases to exist. - Sosan
- Among the greatest treasures
To be found on earth,
Being of nothingness
Is the greatest.
- A sagacious student does not depend on his
teacher’s words, but uses his own experience to
find the truth. A dull student depends on coming
to a gradual understanding through his teacher’s
word: a teacher has two
kinds of students; one hears the teacher’s words without clinging to the material nor to the immaterial, without attaching to form or to nonform, Without thinking of animate objects or of inanimate objects... This is the Sagacious student; the other, who is avid for understanding, accumulates meanings, and mixes good and bad, is the dull student. - Bodhidharma
- When things are no longer important, only
consciousness becomes important. When things are
no longer significant, a new search, a new door
opens. Then you are not rushing towards the
without: you start slipping into the within. The
kingdom of God is within. And once you drop
identifying with things, suddenly you are no
longer fighting -- there is no point. You start
moving with the river of existence. Arrival at
home is effortless. - Osho
- "It is present everywhere.
There is nothing it does not contain.
However only those who have previously
planted wisdom - seeds will be able
to continuously see it. - Dogen
- When practitioners of Zen fail to transcend
the world of their senses and thoughts,
all they do has no value. - Huang Po
