In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow - and that is likely to hurt.
Wei Wu Wei
A man who is seeking for realization is not only going around searching for his spectacles without realizing that they are on his nose all the time, but also were he not actually looking through them he would not be able to see what he is looking for!
Wei Wu Wei
As long as there is a 'you' doing or not-doing, thinking or not-thinking, 'meditating' or 'not-meditating' you are no closer to home than the day you were born.
Wei Wu Wei
Do not mistake the pointing finger for the moon.
