Words exist for meaning,
but once you understand the meaning,
you can throw away the words.
~ Chuang Tzu
"A strange passion is moving in my
head, My heart has become a bird which
searches in the sky. Every part of me goes in different
directions. Is it really so
that the one I love is Everywhere?"
~ Jalal-Uddin Rumi
"The most important thing is to find
out what is the most important thing."
~Shunryu Suzuki.

"Saints and ordinary folks are the same
from the start. Inquiring about a
difference is like asking to borrow string when you've got a good
strong rope.
Every Dharma is known in the heart."
~Hsu Yun
"When we practice zazen [meditation],
all that exists is the movement of the
breathing, but we are aware of this movement. You should not be
absent-minded. But to be aware of the movement does not mean to
be aware
of your small self, but rather of your universal nature, or
Buddha nature. This
kind of awareness is very important, because we are usually so
one-sided.
Our usual understanding of life is dualistic: you and I, this and
that, good and
bad. But actually these discriminations are themselves the
awareness of the
universal existence. "You" means to be aware of the
universe in the form of
you, and "I" means to be aware of it in the form of I.
You and I are just
swinging doors.."
~Shunryu Suzuki
"Even when the light begins to dawn in
zazen, we don't get attached to that
either. If you start to see what the world is really made up of,
if it comes apart
in tiny glowing, luminous pieces for you, don't be attached to
that either. It's
important to just keep walking. It doesn't matter where you're at
in the
way--if you're at the beginning or far along-- the instructions
are the same:
Keep walking with an open heart while the wonder comes over
you."
~John Tarrant
