Zen

Image from the internet

Zen, like life, defies exact definition, but its essence is the experience, moment by moment, of our own existence – a natural, spontaneous encounter, unclouded by the suppositions and expectations that come between us and reality. It is, if you like, a paring down of life until we see it as it really is, free from our illusions; it is merely a divestment of ourselves until we recognize our own true nature. - David Fontana

If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are. - Zen Proverb

Most writers agree on the fact that Zen is not to be understood but to be lived; and far from being incompatible with the requirements of everyday life, Zen confers on it its own full revealing value. - Robert Linssen

Religion

Image from Fcebook Page 'Philosophy Insight'

A man’s ethical behaviour should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. - Albert Einstein

All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few. - Stendhal

Can you imagine a world with no religion? No Muslims killing Jews, no Christians bombing abortion clinics. The world would be a wonderful place... - Richard Dawkins

Wishing you a pleasant experience on your spiritual journey.

Namaste 🙏

God

Needless to say, I do not believe that there is a God.

Image from the Facebook Page As Above, As Below

Each man creates god in his own image. - Mordecai Richler

A god of kindness would be charitable to all. Your god of wrath and punishment is but a monstrous phantasy. - Emile Zola

God – if he really exist – is good, alive, self-conscious, and governs all things according to his benevolent and holy providence; but the world shows no indications of such a benevolent and holy Providence. This earth appears to be a hell, or at best a planet condemned – a sort of purgatory: it is filled with violence, tyranny and injustice, and yet God, if he exist, is absolute sovereign, and has willed that things should be as they are! – Therefore there is no God. - William Batchelder Greene

Wishing you a pleasant experience on your spiritual journey.

Namaste 🙏

Universse

A human being is part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion, of his consciousness. The delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires, and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert Einstein

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. - Eckhart Tolle

The microcosm of the self is essentially the same as the macrocosm of the universe. - Unknown

There never was any heart truly great and generous that was not also tender and compassionate. It is this noble quality that makes all men to be of one kind; for every man would be (as it were) a distinct species to himself, were there no sympathy among individuals. - Robert South
