NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 1116

 

  • ·       “If we speak of what is real, Even a speck of dust or grain of sand is real. Everything is illusory like the moon reflected in water. Neither real or unreal is the infinite void.” ~ Zen Poem, Vietnamese Buddhist Monk

    ·        “Refraining from all evil, Not clinging to birth and death, Working with deep compassion for all sentient beings, respecting those over you and pitying those below you, without any detesting or desiring, worrying or lamentation—This is called Buddha. Do not Search beyond it.” ~ Zen Master Dogen

    ·        “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~ Lao Tzu

    ·        “We sat together, the forest and I, merging into silence. Until only the forest remained.” ~ Li Po

    ·        “We reflect on paradox: water wears away rock. Spirit overcomes force. The weak will undo the mighty. May we learn to see things backwards, inside out, and upside down.” ~ Lao Tzu

    ·        “Seeing through to essential nature is the window of enlightenment.” ~ Hakuun Yasutani Roshi
