Buddhism: Your Daily Meditation

Destroy 'the ego', hound it, beat it, snub it, tell it where it gets off? Great fun, no doubt, but where is it? Must you not find it first? Isn't there a word about catching your goose before you can cook it? The great difficulty here is that there isn't one. - 'Posthumous Pieces' by Wei Wu Wei

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Buddhism: Your Daily Meditation

We say, "In calmness there should be activity; ' in activity there should be calmness."

There is harmony in our activity, and where there is harmony there is calmness. - D.T. Suzuki
