“All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things.”

When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.

Learn to see that it is not things that bother us, that we go out to bother them.

The one who recognizes the uncertainty of phenomena is the Dharma within you.

Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened.

I know this glass is already broken, so I enjoy it – incredibly.

To observe and watch one’s own mind is something really interesting. The untrained mind will run and follow its old habit patterns. Because it has not been trained and taught, it will get lost in all kinds of stories and issues.

Surely the wake left behind by mankind’s forward march reveals its movement just as clearly as the spray thrown up elsewhere by the prow.

At Indy, we are the NASA of the production-car world, and that’s clearly why manufacturers are involved – it’s such a good testbed.

I saw them with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. And when they departed, I used to weep and wish they would take me with them.

I have a tailor now, I have a doctor, a wine merchant, a jeweller, a gardener, a cleaner, and a nanny. It was clearly ridiculous that I did not have a hairdresser. So I got one.

When our consciousness is quiet, the waves of thought cease and we see clearly enough to relate back to our spirit. we connect with who we really are.
