Do not search for the truth

  • Do not search for the truth;
    only cease to hold opinions. - Sosan
     
  • Sitting silently, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself. - Basho
     
  • If you don't find a teacher soon, you'll live this life in vain. it's true, you have the buddha-nature. but without the help of a teacher you'll never know it. only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help. - Bodhidharma
     
  • To find a buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a buddha. If you don't see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings and keeping precepts are all useless. -  Bodhidharma
     
  • When you try to stop activity
    To achieve passivity
    Your very effort fills you with activity. - Sosan
     
  • Too lazy to be ambitious,
    I let the world take care of itself. - Ryokan
     
  • Meditation is looking into your emptiness, welcoming it, enjoying it, being one with it, with no desire to fill it -- there is no need, because it is already full. - Osho
     
  • When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding. - Bodhidharma
     
  • There is no God but godliness. It is a quality, a fragrance. You experience it, you don't see it. And when you experience it, it is not something out there as an object; it is something IN HERE, in the heart of your hearts. It is your subjectivity, it is your consciousness. - Osho
