No creature, large or small, ever fails to cover the ground upon which it stands.

If you miss the moment, you miss your life.

Creativity is our birthright. It is an integral part of being human, as basic as walking, talking and thinking.

serene illumination, or just sitting, is not a technique, or a means to some resulting higher state of consciousness, or any particular state of being. Just sitting, one simply meets the immediate present. Desiring some flashy experience, or anything more or other than 'this' is mere worldly vanity and craving.

To know objects only through dissecting and cataloguing them is to miss their full reality. It is to fall asleep amidst the mystery and to become numb to the wonder of this great Earth.

Zen is a special transmission outside the scriptures,With no reliance on words and letters.A direct pointing to the human mind,And the realization of enlightenment.

The future doesn't exist. It hasn't happened yet. The past doesn't exist. It has already happened.
