Zen

Postby Souichiro » Mon Aug 29, 2005 6:25 pm

I have a little book Called Zen Wijsheden or in English Zen Wisdom. Here are some quotes from it..Some are really good others are erm...nonederstandable (couldn't find the right terminoligy so made a new word ;D)

Anyway:

The road is empty but isn't filled by using it.

The greatest Hapiness is not knowing what Hapiness is.

Without shape and name I leave birth and death.

Words are Nesscesary for Science and Philosophy. For Zen they are a Hindrance.

Outside there is no other. Within there is no self.

The More you rush the slower you'll go.

When you don't fall asleep the dreams will stop by itself.

The wise does nothing while the unwise gets entangled in all kind of things.

If you wan't to keep your life, Destroy it. And when you've completely destroyed it you'll feel comfortable.

All is shadow and Echo.

In strength, Weakness can hide. In Weakness no strength.

He who wants to obtain the spirit of Zen must throw the spirit of Zen away.

To wait for hapiness is the same as waiting for death.

Whether you spend your lifetime laughing or crying it'll last for the same time.

What blooms, perishes.

Never has a fish swam out of the water or has a bird flew above heaven.

Hostilility here on earth will never be destroyed by hostility. By non Hostility will it be destroyed. That's an eternal law.

Where the mind stops the anger begins. therefor anger is a sign of weakness.

Don't try to understand your shadow.

To understand others is knoweledge. To understand one's self is enlightment.

If many become one what does the one become.

Say one word with a closed mouth.

Don't step in the footsteps of elders. find four yourself what they were looking for.

Here ends they way of words. No Past. No Future and no present......



Deep stuff eh.. ;D

makes me think of a few old classics...

"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice."

"Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

"You will find only what you bring in."

ohhhh great warrior, wars do not make one great.

...and finally the dead give away...

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."
