More quotes by Wei Wu Wei
Living should be perpetual and universal benediction.
Wei Wu Wei
The qualities we possess should never be a matter for satisfaction, but the qualities we have discarded.
Wei Wu Wei
The seeing of Truth cannot be dualistic (a 'thing' seen). It cannot be seen by a see-er, or via a see-er. There can only be a seeing which itself is Truth.
Wei Wu Wei
We imagine that waking-life is real and that dream-life is unreal, but there does not seem to be any evidence for this belief.
Wei Wu Wei
The notion that human life has greater value than any other form of life is both unjustifiable and arrogant.
Wei Wu Wei
Spontaneity is being present in the present.
Wei Wu Wei
Transcendence implies the surpassing of two things, and the consequent attainment of a third thing. But there are no 'things' in reality, of any kind whatever: there is only the thing-in-itself, its suchness, which is Reality, revealed when the illusory dualism of inexistent qualities is dissolved.

Disciples and devotees…what are most of them doing? Worshipping the teapot instead of drinking the tea!
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
All the evil in the world, and all the unhappiness, comes from the I-concept.
Wei Wu Wei
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
Worshiping the teapot instead of drinking the tea.
Wei Wu Wei
Never forget, what your looking for is what is looking.
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.
Wei Wu Wei
Realisation is a matter of becoming conscious of that which is already realised.
Wei Wu Wei
As long as one accepts time tacitly as such he is dreaming a dream, not living a life.
Wei Wu Wei
Wise men don't judge: they seek to understand.

I AM Here Now As This
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
Do you realise that when you give a schilling to a beggar you are giving it to yourself?Do you realise that when you help a dog over a stile you yourself are being helped?Do you realise when you kick a man when he is down, you are kicking yourslef?Give him another kick, you deserve it!
