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

But when I know that the glass is already broken, every minute with it is precious.

Why are we born? We are born so that we will not have to be born again.

Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering.

Don’t think that only sitting with the eyes closed is practice. If you do think this way, then quickly change your thinking.

When sitting in meditation, say, “That’s not my business!” with every thought that comes by.

One man watches a river flow by. If he does not wish it to flow, to change ceaselessly in accord with its nature, he will suffer great pain.

The heart is just the heart; thoughts and feelings are just thoughts and feelings. Let things be just as they are.

Another man understands that nature of the river is to change constantly, regardless of his likes and dislikes, and therefore he does not suffer.

Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.

Hear the bird’s song then let go. If you know nature, you’ll know truth. If you know truth, you’ll know nature.

If you have time to be mindful, you have time to meditate.

If you let go a little you will have a little happiness.

When one does not understand death, life can be very confusing.

What’s so great about brightness? My flashlight has it. It can’t help us rid ourselves of our suffering.

Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool.

The meditator simply knows them, they don’t enter his mind. That is, he has no clinging. He is simply the experiencer.

Infinite doorways navigating you down the rabbit hole into the magical grasp of the queens heart.

And, unable to grasp the holier benefits of religion, the mysticism of the heart reacts in the art-intoxication. ….

But how can finite grasp Infinity?

The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.

We neglect those things which are under our very eyes, and heedless of things within our grasp, pursue those which are afar off.

Whatever lives, lives to die in sorrow. We engage our hearts, and grasp after the things of this world, only to undergo the pang of losing them.

Leaders grasp nettles.

The firmer your grasp on reality, the more power you will have to alter it for your purposes.
