There is "what is" only when there is no comparing and to live with "what is" is to be peaceful.

I've come to understand that life is best lived, not conceptualized.

I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.

I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, "I am doing this," but rather, an inner realization that "this is happening through me," or "it is doing this for me." The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

There’s only one basic principle of self-defense- you must apply the most effective weapon, as soon as possible, to the most vulnerable target.

It's the law of averages: put in more, come out with more.

Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillfull, swift, and steady.
