Since everything is interrelated, since all things depend one upon another, nothing is absolute, nothing is separate, but all are part of the one indivisible whole.

If we are always demanding something out of life, then we will never be content. But if we accept life as it is, then we will know contentment.

To practice Zen Buddhism is to train oneself to eliminate hatred, anger and selfishness and to develop loving-kindness towards all.

So let the mind flow like water. Face life with a calm and quiet mind and everything in life will be calm and quiet.

The beauty of Zen is found in simplicity and tranquility, in a sense of the all-embracing harmony of things.

Since everything is interrelated, since all things depend one upon another, nothing is absolute, nothing is separate, but all are part of the one indivisible whole.

In Zen Buddhism an action is considered good when it brings happiness and well-being to oneself and others, evil when it brings suffering and harm to oneself and others.
