You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed.... <br /><br /> <br /><br />~ Zen Quote by Mumon Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:02:11 EST http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/quotthe-living-meaning-of-zen-is-beyond-all-notions-to-realize-it-in-a-phrase-is/ http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/quotthe-living-meaning-of-zen-is-beyond-all-notions-to-realize-it-in-a-phrase-is/ The living meaning of Zen is beyond all notions. To realize it in a phrase is completely contrary to the subtle essence; we cannot avoid using words as expedients, though, but this has limitations. Needless to say, of course, random talk is useless. Nonetheless, the matter is not one-sided, so we temporarily set forth a path in the way of teaching, to deal with people.<br /><br /> - <em>~ Zen Quote by Qingfu ~</em> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:15:37 EST http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/quotjust-think-of-the-trees-they-let-the-birds-perch-and-fly-with-no-intention-t/ http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/quotjust-think-of-the-trees-they-let-the-birds-perch-and-fly-with-no-intention-t/ Just think of the trees: they let the birds perch and fly, with no intention to call them when they come and no longing for their return when they fly away. If peoples hearts can be like the trees, they will not be off the Way. ~ Zen Quote by Langya ~ Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:38:00 EST http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/thousands-of-dreams/ http://redsangre.artician.com/blog/2009/04/thousands-of-dreams/ thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. happiness never decreases by being shared.
