Zen

When you find peace and quiet in the midst of busyness and clamour, then towns and cities become mountain forests; afflictions are enlightenment, sentient beings realize true awakening… You have to actually experience stable peacefulness before you attain oneness; you cannot force understanding. - Zen Master Foyan

Let the world call you lazy for not running about like a frightened ghost. Just be quiet inside yourself. Don't bother about knowing how things should be and simply begin observing without prejudice, projections or desires. Notice how life flows of its own accord. Nothing here is a chaos, but a harmony. You are already inside this flow. - Mooji

The most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind. There is no need to have a deep understanding of Zen. Even though you read much Zen literature, you must read each sentence with a fresh mind. You should not say, "I know what Zen is," or "I have attained enlightenment." This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner. Be very, very careful about this point. Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else. If you start to practice zazen (meditation), you will begin to appreciate your beginner's mind. It is the secret of Zen practice. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few. - Shunryu Suzuki - Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
