I seem to have gotten vaguer and vaguer in providing plot-worthy quotes; hopefully though, some smart writers out there will think up some interesting stories from these. ^^
҂ Break free of limiting weaknesses and habits into an all-accomplishing expansion of your consciousness.
҂ Sleep is the best meditation.
҂ If three of us travel together, I shall find two teachers.
҂ Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
҂ The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.
҂ The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world. Non-being penetrates that in which there is no space. Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.
҂ Bees suck nectar from many different flowers, and then make honey. One drop of honey cannot claim to come from one flower, and another drop of honey from another flower.
҂ There’s nothing in the universe “other” than ourself. Nothing to compare, name, or identify. When it’s the only thing there is, how can we talk about it?
҂ Empty-handed I entered the world, Barefoor I leave it. My coming, my going – Two simple happenings, That got entangled.
҂ …as long as you continue to see others as separate from you, a feeling of hostility towards them cannot fail to prevail.
҂ He who has tasted the sweetness of solitude and tranquility becomes free from fear and free from sin.
҂ Genuine compassion is based not on our own projections and expectations, but rather on the rights of the other: irrespective of whether another person is a close friend or an enemy, as long as that person wishes for peace and happiness and wishes to overcome suffering, then on that basis we develop genuine concern for his or her problem. This is genuine compassion.
҂ Where there is great doubt, there will be great awakening; small doubt, small awakening; no doubt, no awakening.
҂ Though a man go out to battle a thousand times against a thousand men, if he conquers himself he is the greatest conqueror.
҂ All phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew and lightning. Thus you should meditate on them.
҂ …to perceive nonverbally this life as a whole, not fragmented, nor broken up, is to learn.
҂ He who knows when to stop does not find himself in trouble. He will stay safe forever.
҂ I only know that everything I give You comes back to me, So I give You my life.
҂ Finally out of reach – No bondage, no dependency. How calm the ocean, Towering the void.
҂ The whole of the mass of the universe cannot crush this individuality that is mine… It is small in appearance, but great in reality.
҂ I came like Water, and like Wind I go.
21 quotes later and I finally end this post. Amazing what forgetfulness can do for the length of a post. XD Hope you enjoyed! ♥
