What was it like to wake up after having never gone to sleep? That was when you were born.

It is obvious that the only interesting people are interested people, and to be completely interested is to have forgotten about "I".

When you look out of your eyes at nature happening out there...You're looking at you.

So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with Reality, and lives in a world of illusion.

The more we struggle for life as pleasure, the more we are actually killing what we love.

In life as well as in art Zen never wastes energy in stopping to explain; it only indicates.
