Zen and Buddhism have produced martial arts, because of the Buddhist injunction against weapons.

Before beginning an activity always first empty yourself of thoughts regarding what you are about to do.

There is a still center of the universe. Within that still center are all things, all achievements, all loses, everything and nothing exist there.

To go to the very center of the mind of God, to be that, to become aware of our infiniteness, is the goal of Buddhism and along the way, to be as kind to others as possible without thinking that we are particularly wonderful.

Love makes you wise. Love unites. Pain divides. Hate divides even more. Hate separates and brings us down to a very physical plane. Love elevates us to a plane of spirit.

To take charge of destiny means to play a very convoluted chess game on multiple levels of consciousness and existence.

There is no fanaticism in any of this. There is intensity. You have to make it happen. You have to put your will into perfecting your daily life, into monitoring your thoughts.
