Sit and do nothing. Every once in a while a golden fish swims by and lays her golden eggs. You'll know.

Hope and fear cannot alter the seasons

When one is able to overcome the romantic and emotional attitude, one discovers truth even in the kitchen sink.

The basics teachings of Buddha are about understanding what we are, who we are, why we are. When we begin to realize what we are, who we are, why we are, then we begin to realize what we are not, who we are not, why we are not. We begin to realize that we don't have basic, substantial, solid, fundamental ground that we can exert anymore. We begin to realize that our ideas of security and our concept of freedom have been purely phantom experiences.

The way of cowardice is to embed ourselves in a cocoon, in which we perpetuate our habitual patterns. When we are constantly recreating our basic patterns of habits and thought, we never have to leap into fresh air or onto fresh ground.

Whatever shakes you should without delay, right away, be incorporated into the path.

Sit and do nothing. Every once in a while a golden fish swims by and lays her golden eggs. You'll know.
