Wei Wu Wei
In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow - and that is likely to hurt.
Wei Wu Wei
There is no mystery whatever - only inability to perceive the obvious.
Wei Wu Wei
Wise men don't judge: they seek to understand.
Wei Wu Wei
Are we not wasps who spend all day in a fruitless attempt to traverse a window-pane - while the other half of the window is wide open?
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.
