Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.

More quotes by Bruce Lee
Real living is living for others.
Bruce Lee
Let nature take its course and your tools will strike at the right moment.
Bruce Lee
Everybody has to think for himself. A right way for a big man may not be a right way for a small man. A right way for someone who is slow may not be a right way for someone who is quick. Each person must understand his weaknesses and his strengths.
Bruce Lee
Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
Bruce Lee
The most important thing to me is, how, in the process of learning how to use my body, can I come to understand myself ?
Bruce Lee
Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety in that state of mind, there is perception.
Bruce Lee
Preparation for tomorrow is hard work today.
Bruce Lee
We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer, the problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.
Bruce Lee
Every morning like a scholar at his first class I prepare a blank mind for the day to write upon.
Bruce Lee
Where there is no style, there is no slave. Martial Arts mean honestly expressing yourself. No style. No slave.
Bruce Lee
Belts are only good for holding up your pants
Bruce Lee
You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
Bruce Lee
Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!
Bruce Lee
You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.
Bruce Lee
The abdominal and waist region coordinate all parts of the body and act as the center or generator. Therefore, you can promote the ability to control the body's action and master your will more easily.
Bruce Lee
Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.
Bruce Lee
You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.
Bruce Lee
Unfortunately, now in boxing people are only allowed to punch. In Judo, people are only allowed to throw. I do not despise these kinds of martial arts. What I mean is, we now find rigid forms which create differences among clans, and the world of martial art is shattered as a result.
Bruce Lee
If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
Bruce Lee
Learning is a constant process of discovery - a process without end.
