More quotes by Zhuangzi
We are born from a quiet sleep, and we die to a calm awakening
Zhuangzi
Your mind must become one, do not try to understand with your ears but with your heart. Indeed, not with your heart but with your soul.
Zhuangzi
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
The knowledge of the ancients reached the highest point-the time before anything existed. This is the highest point. It is exhaustive. There is no adding to it.
Zhuangzi
Look at this window: it is nothing but a hole in the wall, but because of it the whole room is full of light. So when the faculties are empty, the heart is full of light.
Zhuangzi
The living all find death unpleasant men mourn over it. And yet, what is death, but the unbending of the bow and its return to its case?
Zhuangzi
Your preciousness lies in your essence it cannot be lost by anything that happens.
Zhuangzi
Verily God does not reward man for what he does, but for what he is.
Zhuangzi
When you're dreaming, you don't know it's a dream. You might even interpret a dream in your dream - and then wake up and realize it was all a dream. Perhaps a great awakening will reveal this to be a dream as well.
Zhuangzi
If you have grasped the purpose of life there is no point in trying to make life into something it is not or cannot be.
Zhuangzi
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
Do not seek fame. Do not make plans. Do not be absorbed by activities. Do not think that you know. Be aware of all that is and dwell in the infinite. Wander where there is no path. Be all that heaven gave you, but act as though you have received nothing. Be empty, that is all.
Zhuangzi
To go outside what your charge was, and to try to solve everything yourself, is dangerous.
Zhuangzi
A battering ram can knock down a city wall, but it cannot stop a hole. Different things have different uses.
Zhuangzi
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
Make your will one! Don't listen with your ears, listen with your mind. No, don't listen with your mind, but listen with your spirit. Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty- and waits on all things. The Way gathers in emptiness alone. Emptiness is the fasting of the mind.
Zhuangzi
Perfect happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
Zhuangzi
For we can only know that we know nothing, and a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Zhuangzi
He who knows he is a fool is not the biggest fool He who knows he is confused is not in the worst confusion.
Zhuangzi
There may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me, because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am.
Zhuangzi
