"Become still, quiet the mind, sit like the mountain and sky -- stable and undivided in the face of everything that comes up. Open to the unpleasant part, the down-in-the-dumps part, the making-mistakes part, the prolonged-aching-in-the-heart part. The not knowing and the bouts of joy. Become one in the same as yourself, or "one with" your life." (06/07/2022)

"Your arrows do not carry," observed the master, "because they do not reach far enough spiritually. You must act as if the goal were infinitely far off. For master archers it is in fact common experience that a good archer can shoot further with a medium-strong bow than an unspiritual archer can with the strongest. It does not depend on the bow, but on the presence of mind, on the vitality and awareness with which you shoot ... " Zen in the Art of Archery (11/12/2025)

"Bring me a fig," said the sage, Uddalaka, to his son.
"Here it is, father."
"Break it open. What do you see inside?"
"Some rather tiny seeds, father."
"Break one of them open. What do you see inside?"
"Nothing at all, father."
"From the inside of this tiny seed, which seems to be nothing at all, this whole fig tree grows. That is the Real. That is atman. That art thou, my son." (10/29/2024)

"Once a yogi sitting on the banks of the Ganges saw a scorpion fall into the water. He scooped it out only to be bitten by the scorpion. It happened again and again with the same result. A bystander asked the yogi: "Why do you keep rescuing that scorpion, only to have it bite you?"
"It is the nature of scorpions to bite," replied the yogi. "And it is the nature of yogis to help others when they can."

"At Ryoan-ji in Kyoto there is a famous rock garden; wherever in it a person stands, one of the fifteen rocks cannot be seen. The garden reminds that always something unknowable is present, just beyond what can be perceived or comprehended -- and that something is as much part of the real as any other stone amid the raked gravel."
