Kabat-Zinn, Jon
"Maybe the fear is that
we are less than
we think we are,
when the
actuality of it
is that we are much, much more."

"When it comes right down to it, whenever you go, there you are. Whatever you wind up doing, that's what you've wound up doing. Whatever you are thinking right now, that's what's on your mind. Whatever has happened to you, it has already happened .... Like it or not, this moment is all we really have to work with." (03/11/2022)
Katagiri, Dainin
"The important point of spiritual practice is not to try to escape your life, but to face it -- exactly and completely." (05/01/2022)
Keats, John
"Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings." (02/22/2022)
Kerouac, Jack
"And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it's all in my mind." (02/09/2022)
"Close your eyes, let your hands and nerve-ends drop, stop breathing for 3 seconds, listen to the silence inside the illusion of the world, and you will remember the lesson you forgot, which was taught in immense milky ways of cloudy innumerable worlds long ago and not even at all. It is all one vast awakened thing. I call it the golden eternity. It is perfect." (12/18/2023)
"On soft Spring nights I'll stand in the yard under the stars -- Something good will come out of all things yet -- And it will be golden and eternal just like that -- There's no need to say another word." (07/13/2023)
Kewley, Michael
"Here is the Dharma: You will not know your delusions until you awaken from them."
"Many people are attracted to meditation and a so-called spiritual life, provided it feeds the ego, but this is not our way. Our way of Pure Dhamma is to become less and less until we are like the wind in the trees or the ripples on the water. In reality only a beautiful movement of love, compassion and joy seeking nothing for itself but serving the world with kindness. Letting go of the ever-demanding ego (self-identity) is the greatest gift we can bring to our own life and the life of all beings. The less of "you" there is, the happier you will be. This is how to be no-one, going no-where." (07/07/2022)
Khan, Hazrat Inayat
"Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence."
Khawas, Ali al-
"All wisdom can be stated in two lines:

"What you must do yourself -- make sure you do it." (07/23/2022)
Khayyam, Omar
"Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life." (08/03/2022)
Kierkegaard, Soren
"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true." (04/25/2023)
King, Winston L.
"Zen, as a spiritual discipline ... is consistently opposed to rigidity. ... Fixity is death; fluidity is life." (10/31/2023)
Kinnell, Galway
"How many nights must it take
one such as me to learn
that we aren't, after all, made
from that bird that flies out of its ashes
that for us
as we go up in flames, our one work
is
to open ourselves, to be
the flames?"
Klee, Paul
"Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible." (08/27/2022)
Kokushi, Daito (Shuho Myocho)
"Separated by a million eons, yet not apart for a single instant, all day long sitting face-to-face, yet never meeting for a moment." (12/08/2023)
Kornfield, Jack
"As surely as there is a voyage away, there is a journey home." (05/08/2022)
"Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. ... Let your heart be soft. Open to whatever you experience without fighting." (08/02/2022)
"Meditation helps us look deeply at the sorrow that exists now in our world, and to look at our individual and collective relationship to it, to bear witness to it, to acknowledge it instead of running away. Without mindfulness and compassion the suffering is too great to bear. We close our minds. We close our eyes and our hearts." (04/12/2022)
"The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love." (02/25/2023)
"There is a sign outside a casino in Las Vegas that says, "You must be present to win." The same is true in meditation. If we want to see the nature of our lives, we must actually be present, aware, awake." (10/18/2023)
"We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open." (02/14/2022)
"Whatever your difficulties -- a devastated heart, financial loss, feeling assaulted by the conflicts around you, or a seemingly hopeless illness -- you can always remember that you are free in every moment to set the compass of your heart to your highest intentions ... In fact, the two things that you are always free to do -- despite your circumstances -- are to be present and to be willing to love."
Kosho Uchiyama
"Pure religion ... is the attitude of discovering the life within the self that is connected to all things. It means aiming at manifesting the life of each and every encounter, and seeing all of these encounters as our own life."
Krishnamurti, Jiddu
"If we can really understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem." (11/30/2023)
"It is love alone that leads to right action. What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will." (02/16/2022)(10/07/2023)
"We never see anything completely ... We never see a tree, we see the tree through the image that we have of it, the concept of that tree; but the concept, the knowledge, the experience, is entirely different from the actual tree." (05/05/2023)
Kundera, Milan
"The Greek word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return." (03/22/2023)
Kushu, Zenrin
"Entering the forest, he does not disturb a blade of grass;
"Entering the water, he does not cause a ripple." (03/08/2022)
