About Me
When man learns to take what is, stay still in a quiet room, only then will utopia exist... ____________________________________________________________ We do not learn by experience, but by our capacity for experience -Buddha ____________________________________________________________ This sounds an extraordinary statement to make, but in fact all truth is very ordinary. It is peoples' fantasies of what is true that is so extraordinary. That we were born and that we face eternal extinction after death is an extraordinary fantasy. - Brian Perkins........................................... ____________________________________________________________ __ If you understand, things are just as they are... If you do not understand, things are just as they are.... - Zen Saying __________________________________________________________ If your eye is pure, there will be sunshine in your soul. But if your eye is clouded with evil thoughts and desires, you are in deep spiritual darkness. And oh, how deep that darkness can be! - JesusIf you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? - Dogen Zenji ___________________________________________________________ In your hopelessness is the only hope, and in your desirelessness is your only fulfillment, and in your tremendous helplessness suddenly the whole existence starts helping you. - Osho ____________________________________________________________ Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves. - The Buddh ____________________________________________________________ Just live that life. It doesn't matter whether it is life or hell, life of the hungry ghost, life of the animal, it's okay; just live that life, see. And as a matter of fact no other way. Where you stand, where you are, that's what your life is right there, regardless of how painful it is or how enjoyable it is. That's what it is. - Taizan Maezumi
