My Mechanism
"You and your brain are two things. The brain is your machinery just like everything else is your machinery. This hand is my mechanism; I use it. My brain is my mechanism; I use it."
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."

"Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness."
Sudden Enlightenment
"Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. It says that enlightenment takes no time, it can happen in a single, split second."

"Yes, when you see for the first time, a great laughter arises in you - the laughter about the whole ridiculousness of your misery, the laughter about the whole foolishness of your problems, the laughter about the whole absurdity of your suffering."
