In all things have no preferences.

When we rejoice in our fulness, then we can part with our fruits with joy.

[http://www.spiritsite.com/writing/thihan/ SpiritSight.com - Excerpts from selected Thich Nhat Hanh books]

We do not stray out of all words into the ever silent;
We do not raise our hands to the void for things beyond hope.

Whereas before you dwelt in time and paid brief visits to the Now, have your dwelling place in the Now and pay brief visits to past and future when required to deal with the practical aspects of your life situation.

This universe is a drop from the ocean of his beauty, unable from its fulness to find place in the parent bosom.

Dwell in the place where your companions are spiritual heroes,
So that they may wash the foul soot from your [heart]
Don't think about their faults, for they
Will know about it before you think.

Zen proverbs

Life is such a gentle, treasured thing. I learn about it every minute. I think about it so deeply.

God, I ask you. Is trustfulness a sin?

My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.

[Bai Juyi] utilized Confucianism to order his conduct, utilized Buddhism to cleanse his mind, and then utilized history, paintings, mountains, rivers, wine, music and song to soothe his spirit.

I am astonished about those people who are ordered to prepare their provisions, then the start of the journey is announced, however they remain unmindful in their vain discussions and fruitless deeds.

Gautama Buddha

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
