Mere physical sitting is not enough. You have to sit carefully and attentively. Let your body and breathing sit. Let your mind and emotions sit. Let your blood circulation sit. Let everything sit. Then your sitting becomes indestructible, immovable.

Maezumi Roshi

Do not struggle. Go with the flow of things, and you will find yourself at one with the mysterious unity of the Universe.

Zhuangzi

To gain freedom is to gain simplicity.

Joan Miro

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

Equanimity arises when we accept the way things are.

Jack Kornfield

Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.
