You Know Who I Am
I cannot follow you, my love,
you cannot follow me.
I am the distance you put between
all of the moments that we will be.
You know who I am,
you've stared at the sun,
well I am the one who loves
changing from nothing to one.
~ Leonard Cohen

Just Be
But before the sun entered me,
The sun was in me-
also the cloud and the river.
Before I entered the river, I was already in it.
There has not been a moment
When we have not inter-been.
Therefore you know
That as long as you continue to breathe,
I continue to be in you.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

One time, Zen Master Seung Sahn said: I don't teach Korean or
Mahayana or
Zen. I don't even teach Buddhism. I only teach don't know. Fifty
years here
and there teaching only don't know. So only don't know, okay?

More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for
clarity.

When you truly feel this equal love for all, when your heart has
expanded so
much that it embraces the whole of creation, you will certainly
not feel like
giving up this or that. You will simply drop off from secular
life as a ripe fruit
drops from the branch of a tree. You will feel that the whole
world is your
home.
~ Ramana Maharshi

Even a stone, and more easily a flower or a bird, could show you
the way
back to God, to the Source, to yourself. When you look at it or
hold it & let it
be without imposing a word or mental label on it, a sense of awe,
of wonder,
arises within you. Its essence silently communicates itself to
you and reflects
your own essence back to you.
~ Eckhart Tolle

All your talk is worthless
When compared to one whisper!!!

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings
because it has a song."

A Buddha is a person who has no more business to do and
isn’t looking for
anything. In doing nothing, in simply stopping, we can live
freely and true to
ourselves and our liberation will contribute to the liberation of
all beings.

The sounds of the stream
splash out
the Buddha's sermon
Don't say
that the deepest meaning
comes only from one's mouth
Day and night
eighty thousand poems
arise one after the other
and in fact
not a single word
has ever been spoken.
~ Muso Soseki
