The Great Love
“Zen people love Buddha so tremendously that they can even play jokes upon him. It is out of great love; they are not afraid.”
Surrender
“You come to the master only in deep humbleness, because learning is possible only in humbleness. You have come to surrender, not to perform, not to manipulate, not to impress.”
Happiness
“Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy.”
The Thinker
“Philosophers are never happy here. Now is not their time, and here is not their space. They live there, they live somewhere else.”
The Zen Approach
“This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural.”
