Information
ZEN WISDOM
Zen in its essence
is the art of seeing
into the nature of one's being,
and it points the way
from bondage to freedom.
D.T. SUZUKI
Although I try to hold
the single thought
Of Buddha's teaching in my heart,
I cannot help but hear the many
crickets' voices calling as well.
ISUMI SHIKIBU
We accept the graceful falling
Of mountain cherry blossoms,
But it is much harder for us
To fall away from our own
Attachment to the world
ZEN WISDOM
When my house burned down
I gained
An unobstructed view
of the moonlight sky
ZEN WISDOM
Out of clutter,
find simplicity.
From discord,
find harmony.
In the middle of difficulty
lies opportunity.
ALBERT EINSTEIN
With plum blossom scent,
This sudden sun emerges
Along a mountain trail
BASHO
You the butterfly–
I, Chuang Tzu's
dreaming heart.
It is not difficult to keep
a beginners mind.
There are many possibilities
in a beginners mind,
but in the expert few.
SUSKI ROSHI
Zen is simply . . .
That state of centeredness
which is here and now.
ALAN WATTS
The world?
Moonlit water drops
From the crane's bill
ZEN MASTER DOGEN
See the world through your Heart.
MZ
What delight it is
When I blow away ash,
To watch the crimson
Of the glowing fire
And hear the water boil.
TACHIBANA AKEMI
Sit quietly doing nothing,
Spring comes,
And the grass grows
By itself.
