Wei Wu Wei
What do you have to do? Pack your bags, Go to the station without them, Catch the train, And leave your self behind.
Wei Wu Wei
Are you still thinking, looking, living, as from an imaginary phenomenal centre? As long as you do that you can never recognise your freedom.
Wei Wu Wei
Worshiping the teapot instead of drinking the tea.
Wei Wu Wei
The Saint is a man who disciplines his ego. The Sage is a man who rids himself of his ego.
Wei Wu Wei
Doctrines, scriptures, sutras, essays, are not to be regarded as systems to be followed. They merely contribute to understanding. They should be for us a source of stimulation, and nothing more... Adopted, rather than used as a stimulus, they are a hindrance.
