"Zen is not about nonmovement. ... Sitting is a centered, strong position in the midst of movement.  When you get a top spinning just right, even though it is going very fast, it's so stable that it doesn't even look as if it's moving.  If it's slightly off balance, it wobbles.  It has to be centered and moving very fast in order to be stable.  That's what Zen is all about."  (09/19/2015)

Gunaratana, Henepola 

"Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy.  Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill, utterly out of control and hopeless.  No problem. ... Ignorance may be bliss, but it does not lead to liberation.  So don't let this realization unsettle you.  It is actually a sign of real progress." (01/08/2025)
