Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.

Ramana Maharshi

If you wish to know the divine, feel the wind on your face and the warm sun on your back.

Eido Tai Shimano Roshi

Life needs both: thorns and roses, days and nights, happiness/unhappiness, birth/death. Be a witness to it all and you will know something that is beyond birth, beyond death; something that is beyond darkness and beyond light; something that is beyond happiness, beyond unhappiness.

Osho

Chanting is no more holy than listening to the murmur of a stream, counting prayer beads no more scared than simply breathing, religious robed no more spiritual than work clothes.

Lao Tzu

Stay centered by accepting whatever happens to you. This is the ultimate.

Chuang Tzu

To maintain a powerful life force, forget yourself, forget about living and dying, and bring your full attention into this moment.
