Gathered from a ZEN Calendar, one page a day....
When
confusion ceases, tranquility comes; when tranquility comes, wisdom appears,
and when wisdom appears, reality is seen.
BUDDHIST SAYING
At
first you will think of practice as a limited part of your life. In time you
will realize that everything you do is part of your practice.
BABA RAM DASS
I never look at the masses as my responsibility;
I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time—just one,
one, one. So you begin. I began—I picked up one person. Maybe if I
didn’t pick up that one person, I wouldn’t have picked up forty-two
thousand. . . . The same thing goes for you, the same thing in your family,
the same thing in your church, your community. Just begin—one, one, one.
MOTHER TERESA
People
with opinions just go around bothering one another.
THE BUDDHA
There is neither
heaven nor earth, only snow, falling incessantly.
HASHIN
The
first thing you learn in life is you’re a fool. The last thing you learn
is you’re the same fool. Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I
regain consciousness.
RAY BRADBURY
To
give real service you must add something, which cannot be bought or measured
with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.
Donald
A. Adams
When
we are not sure, we are alive.
GRAHAM GREENE
I
believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore I believe that
if one person gains spiritually the whole world gains, and if one person
falls, the world falls to that extent.
MOHANDAS K. GANDHI
What
need have I of gold? The whole world is gold for me!
NAROPA
A
guru is like a fire. If you get too close you get burned; if you stay too
far away, you don’t get enough heat.
