Zen is not โattainedโ by mirror-wiping mediation, but by โself-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.โ We do not โcomeโ, we โare.โ Don't strive to become, but be.
Bruce LeeWhat we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
Bruce LeeTrue observation begins when devoid of set patterns; freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond system.
