The greatest and most powerful thing you can do in life
is fully experience the present moment.
Let the truth laugh
When I realized who I am, I pointed my head up at the sky and I laughed. But why shouldn't we laugh at the truth? Why shouldn't the truth laugh?
"I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth."

I am not a Boddhisatva
For I am not here to help you.
I am not a stone Buddha
that you can contemplate in stillness.
Perhaps I have the answers you seek
perhaps you will become lost
in my darkness.

Free your mind
From what?
From where?
That very thought

If You Love, Love Openly
Twenty monks and one nun, who was named Eshun, were practicing meditation with a certain Zen master
Eshun was very pretty even though her head was shaved and her dress plain. Several monks secretly fell in love with her. One of them wrote her a love letter, insisting upon a private meeting.
Eshun did not reply. The following day the master gave a lecture to the group, and when it was over, Eshun arose. Addressing the one who had written to her, she said: “If you really love me so much, come and embrace me now.”

Where do I begin and end in space? I have relations to the sun and air which are just as vital parts of my existence as my heart. The movement which I am a pattern or convolution began incalculable ages before the (conventionally isolated) event called ‘birth’, and will continue long after the event called ‘death’. Only words and conventions can isolate us from the entirely undefinable something which is everything.

If nothing within you is rigid, outward things with disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
