Zen is the unsymbolization of the world.

Perfect does not mean perfect actions in a perfect world, bur appropriate actions in an imperfect one.

There is no greater difference between men than between grateful and ungrateful people.

There is a Hindu myth about the Self or God of the universe who sees life as a form of play. But since the Self is what there is and all that there is and thus has no one separate to play with, he plays the cosmic game of hide-and-seek with himself. He takes on the roles and masks of individual people such as you and I and thus becomes involved in exciting and terrifying adventures, all the time forgetting who he really is.

The establishment of inner harmony is to be attained neither in the past nor in the future, but where the past and future meet, which is the now. When you have attained that point, neither future nor past, neither birth nor death, neither time nor space exist. It is that NOW which is liberation, which is perfect harmony, to which the men of the past and the men of the future must come.

I myself think that to have a cat is more important than to have a Bible.

Nothing divides one so much as thought.
