Great works are done when one is not calculating and thinking.

To Zen, time and eternity are one.

Not to be bound by rules, but to be creating one's own rules-this is the kind of life which Zen is trying to have us live.

Zen approaches it from the practical side of life-that is, to work out Enlightenment in life itself.

When we start to feel anxious or depressed, instead of asking, "What do I need to get to be happy?" The question becomes, "What am I doing to disturb the inner peace that I already have?"

The ego-shell in which we live is the hardest thing to outgrow.

Zen in it's essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one's being, and it points the way from bondage to freedom.
