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

There is no place to search for the truth. Though it's right beneath your feet, it can't be found.

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.

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

Wordless is not the same of expressionless. All phenomenon of the universe, audible and inaudible, tangible and intangible, sentient and insentient, are the clear and ceaseless expression of the buddha nature.

In the action of no-action (wu-wei), a cardinal aspect of the true creative process is set forth. In wu-wei, the mind is silenced and the work is allowed to express itself.

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