“All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit
 is to stop seeking something more or better or different,
 and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.”
~ Adyashanti

Let your beauty manifest itself without talking and calculation.​
You are silent.
It says for you: I am.
And in comes meaning thousandfold​,
comes at long last over everyone.
–Rainer Maria Rilke

Fathomed at last!
Ocean's dried.  Void burst.
Without an obstacle in sight,
It's everywhere!

             -    Joho, 12th Century
                  Zen Poems of China and Japan, 1973,  p. 15
                  Translated by Lucien Stryk, Takashi Ikemoto and Taigan Takayama

Enlightenment is basically not a tree,
                                              And the clear mirror is not a stand.
                                              Fundamentally there is not a single thing -
                                              Where can dust collect.
               
                                                                    -   Huineng, Sixth Zen Patriarch in China,  638-713

Two come about because of One,
                         but don't cling to the One either!
                         So long as the mind does not stir,
                         the ten thousand things stay blameless;
                         no blame, no phenomena,
                         no stirring, no mind.                         

The viewer disappears along with the scene,
                         the scene follows the viewer into oblivion,
                         for scene becomes scene only through the viewer,
                         viewer becomes viewer because of the scene.
       
                                            -    Seng-ts'an,  600
                                                           Hsin-Hsin-Ming: Inscription on Trust in the Mind

                                   An explosive shout cracks the great empty sky.
                                Immediately clear self-understanding.
                                Swallow up buddhas and ancestors of the past.
                                Without following others, realize complete penetration.
     
                                                            -    Dogen, 1200 - 1253
                                                                 Moon in a Dewdrop, p, 218 
                                                                 Translated by Kazuaki Tanahashi

“If your mind is happy then you are happy anywhere you go.
When wisdom awakens within you, you will see Truth wherever you look.
Truth is all there is.
 It’s like when you learned how to read,
you can then read anywhere you go.”
~ Ajahn Chah

  “Breathing in, I calm body and mind.
Breathing out, I smile.
Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Although Lao Tse lived in the material world,
He did not look at it, but at the Depths.
He looked from the world of matter — into that Depth,
from which all the material was manifested:
into the world of the Divine Light
and
Great Transparent Calm.

"That little bird has chosen his shelter. 
Above it are the stars and the deep heaven of worlds. 
Yet he is rocking himself to sleep
without caring for tomorrow's lodging,
calmly clinging to his little twig,
and
leaving God to think for him."
-  Martin Luther
