Lao Tzu on the way of the sage...


"The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, 
the more he benefits himself, the more he gives to others, 
the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does 
one good but never does one harm. The Way of the 
sage is to act but not to compete".

Lao Tzu

Fire and arguments come
The Asuras smile...."

Mystics, Scientists and Man...


"Mystics understand the roots of the Tao but not its branches; 
scientists understand its branches but not its roots. 
Science does not need mysticism and mysticism 
does not need science; but man needs both."

The web of life...


"Humankind has not woven the web of life.
We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.
All things are bound together.
All things connect."

Chief Seattle, 1854

Lakota Prayer



"Wakan Tanka, 
Great Mystery,
teach me how 
to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun." 

*According to the Native People, the Sacred Space
is the space between exhalation and inhalation.
To Walk in Balance is to have Heaven (spirituality)
and Earth (physicality) in Harmony.

Je Mila...


"By realizing that all forms are self-awareness, 
I have beheld my consort's face-the true Mind Within." 

Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa


Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (1840-1904)


"We live, we die, and like the grass and trees, renew ourselves from the soft earth of the grave. Stones crumble and decay, faiths grow old and they are forgotten, but new beliefs are born. The faith of the villages is dust now... but it will grow again... like the trees."

Chief Joseph

Zen Mind


If you think, “I breathe,” the “I” is extra. There is no you to say “I.” What we call “I” is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale. It just moves; that is all. When your mind is pure and calm enough to follow this movement, there is nothing: no “I,” no world, no mind nor body; just a swinging door.

Just like everyone else."

Kind words...


“Kind words are the music of the world. 
They have a power which seems to be 
beyond natural causes, as if they were s
ome angel's song which had lost its way 
and come to earth.” 

Frederick William Faber

The flow of life...


"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

Lao Tzu

Emptiness...


Subhuti asked: "If one wants to know emptiness, how should one do it?" "The one who wants to realize emptiness should adore reality, develop a skill in living in the world, and cultivate friends of the same mind. Skill can only be developed in the presence of reality, not otherwise. Endowed with skill, the person gives without the idea of a giver and lives in the realization that all the factors of existence have no ultimate substance."

Prajnaparamita

Equanimity...


"Let me tell you what we teach. When a monk sees a form with the eye, usually a feeling of liking or disliking comes into being. The monk then understands that liking or disliking has arisen but that either one is not inevitable but is conditioned and dependent on causes. So he heads for a state in which there is equanimity and finds that in so doing the liking or disliking has vanished and he sees things as they are. That is how he controls his senses. That is what we teach."

Majjhima Nikaya
