When you meditate, you are shifting your state of mind to a higher vibratory level that will give you a much more expansive view.

The way of Zen is to become independent and strong. Don't rely on others for perceptions of life and truth. Do it individually. Go to a teacher of Zen to learn how to do that, not to get answers for individual life situations.

The limitations that we can see of the sexual description of reality are very apparent. Very few men attain enlightenment, even fewer women.

Enlightenment is to be outside the circle, the circle of death and rebirth. There is a circle inside you. If you meditate and focus on your third eye, you will see a circle of light.

Some people meditate because they need more energy and when you meditate you get a tremendous amount of energy.

One path leads back to this world, to rebirth; one path leads beyond. Your soul stands at a crossword, trying to make a decision, flipping a coin, a nice image for the soul, I think.

Keep the deepest feelings of your heart to yourself. They tend to stay more pure if you do. There is a wisdom to that.
