"The Buddha replied [...] They know that everything is already in nirvana. Thus, they never enter nirvana." The Lankavatara Sutra - Pine, R. (translator.) #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #awakening

"The object of meditation isn’t to change ourselves, to throw out the old and bring in the new. It’s about making friends with ourselves, meeting each and every part of our lives with curiosity and compassion." F. Ostaseski - "The Five Invitations" #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness
When we're really ambitious, it's like we've got to prove something or ourselves. We neither have to prove nor improve ourselves. We just have to be present. See what we do. What's going on in the moment. Breathe and be. #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
The answer is not One or not not-One. It's neither a question nor an answer. #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
"So they were called 'Sages who, abandoning learning, have come to rest in spontaneity'." Huang Po [Obaku] - "The Zen Teaching of Huang Po on the Transmission of Mind" (translator John Blofeld) #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
I'm nowhere else than here. I'm not in any other time than now. Here. Now. How easy is it not to write it? How difficult is it not to truly see it? #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
This is our brain when it tries to analyze or control what's going on in the moment. The thinker is the man on the top. Give him a break. You can't think the Reality. Be the Reality. #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
Hamas is a brutal terror organization. And the Israeli government and its military are war criminals who kill thousands of civilians in Gaza. Don't be fooled: Non of these groups of hateful, violent men bring peace to their people. #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
"I can’t trust my personality; it will say anything! Nor can I trust my emotions, they flicker around and change constantly." A. Sumedho - "Intuitiv Awareness" #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
"Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others." Pema Chödrön - "The Places That Scare You" #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #Awareness
Zen is an attentive, peaceful life attitude. That doesn't mean we're passive when we see violence and injustice. The brutality of Putin must never win. Democracy loving people all over the world support Ukraine's fight against the Russian aggression. Ukraine has many friends.
"Because each existence is in constant change, there is no abiding self. In fact, the self-nature of each existence is nothing but change itself, the self-nature of all existence." Shunryu Suzuki - "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
"I, without my temporal self, always am. I am eternally in God. And inasmuch as that which is in God is not other than God, then in principle my truest I is God." Meister Eckhart "Meister Eckhart on Divine Knowledge" - C.F. Kelley #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
It's always easy to see if an animal is enlightened.🙂 #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness
"When I stood in the Principle, the ground of Godhead, no one asked me where I was going or what I was doing: there was no one to ask me." Meister Eckhart ("Meister Eckhart on Divine Knowledge" - C. F. Kelley) #Zen #meditation #Mindfulness #moment #Awareness

HERMIT RULE 2: Keep clean the lens of your perception and experience the entire Cosmos as your lost and found Beloved. Cleaning is about changing what we see by transforming what we are looking through, not what we are looking at. Hmmn, so there's a thought!
There is a silent self within us whose presence is disturbing precisely because it is so silent: it can't be spoken. It has to remain silent. To articulate it, to verbalize it, is to tamper with it, and in some ways to destroy it. 'Creative Silence' - Love and Living
It’s so simple but release all your experiences and your pride.Then realize and accept your existence as you are. Wonderful awareness will occur♪
Ego is the belief that we are a human We play out the stories We believe the memories We follow the projections *not that there’s anything wrong with that 😏
"The Zen Teaching of Huang Po: On the Transmission of Mind" (J. Blofeld, trans.), for my money, is the clearest exposition of Zen there is. (Dōgen, too, believed Huang Po had the most profound understanding of Zen among the old Chinese masters.)
into the ocean I throw my sandals rain falling on my head Basho
creation through being from effort… to effortless both the absolute & relative from effort… to effortless creation through being
A thinking mind is only the first step towards freedom. The insight that the process of thinking only breaks you down into multiple fragments, pulling each other in different directions. The realization of the futility of thought opens the door for going beyond it.
Nothing can enslave you more than the knowledge you have gathered. Only the knowledge to transcend the knowledge can set you free.
It’s your thoughts which want to know whether right or wrong. Is it meaningful to judge good or bad about yourself and others? It’s your thoughts which want to calm down by getting answers and be satisfied and be feel at ease.
“A man cannot understand the art he is studying if he only looks for the end result without taking the time to delve deeply into the reasoning of the study” - Source: japanesetactics.com/13-miyamoto-mu…
“Our spirits have their own private way of understanding each other, of becoming intimate, while our external persons are still trapped in the commerce of ordinary words, in the slavery of social rules. Souls have their own needs and their own ambitions, which the body ignores…
"How many men stand on a balcony and wonder what happened?... He wanted adventure and he got two weeks' vacation. He wanted a mission and he got a lawn that needs mowing. He wanted purpose and he got a cubicle. He wanted a mighty steed and he got a minivan. He wanted a castle…
in daylight a firefly is just an insect Basho
"In today’s rush, we all think too much — seek too much — want too much — and forget about the joy of just being.”
The cessation of thinking can never be achieved by any entity, because an entity is itself a thinking process. A deep understanding of this truth, however, can itself lead to a spontaneous fasting of the mind, whereby thought ceases effortlessly on its own.
