Wise men don't judge: they seek to understand.
Wei Wu Wei
As long as one accepts time tacitly as such he is dreaming a dream, not living a life.

The only real service we can render to that which we perceive and interpret in phenomenal existence as 'others' is by awakening to universal consciousness ourselves.
Wei Wu Wei
Play your part in the comedy, but don't identify yourself with your role!
Wei Wu Wei
All the evil in the world, and all the unhappiness, comes from the I-concept.
Wei Wu Wei
In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow - and that is likely to hurt.
Wei Wu Wei
The practice of meditation is represented by the three monkeys, who cover their eyes, ears and mouths so as to avoid the phenomenal world.
Wei Wu Wei
It is less what one is that should matter, than what one is not.
Wei Wu Wei
Realisation is a matter of becoming conscious of that which is already realised.
