Zen is less the study of doctrine than a set of tools for discovering what can be known when the world is looked at with open eyes Picture Quote #1

Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities! Picture Quote #1

Zen is really just a reminder to stay alive and to be awake. We tend to daydream all the time, speculating about the future and dwelling on the past. Zen practice is about appreciating your life in this moment. If you are truly aware of five minutes a day, then you are doing pretty well. We are beset by both the future and the past, and there is no reality apart from the here and now Picture Quote #1

Zen is the game of insight, the game of discovering who you are beneath the social masks Picture Quote #1

Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha... Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation Picture Quote #1

Zen is a kind of unlearning. It teaches you how to drop that which you have learned, how to become unskillful again, how to become a child again, how to start existing without mind again, how to be here without any mind Picture Quote #1

Zen is a totally different kind of religion. It brings humanness to religion. It is not bothered about anything superhuman; its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing Picture Quote #1

Zen is not morality, it is aesthetics. It does not impose a code of morality. it does not give you any commandments: do this, don’t do that Picture Quote #1

Zen says: be empty. Look without any idea. Look into the nature of things but with no idea, with no prejudice, with no presupposition Picture Quote #1

If you are around a lot of human beings who are filled with jealousy and anger and rage and desire, it filters into the mind. Zen is writing a new program to run in the mind Picture Quote #1

Zen is a very quick path to enlightenment and development of the mind and all its facilities Picture Quote #1

Zen is a very fast path to enlightenment, fast in comparison to some other paths, not fast for the person who practices it. There is no sense of speed Picture Quote #1
