The practice of Zen is not limited to the meditation mat. The practice of Zen is our entire life and is the very thread that binds our different lives together. Discovering this truth is called awakening, and it takes a circuitous route.
(Janet Jiryu Abels)
If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.
(Simone Weil)
Whether it is the time or the method, true labor is half initiative and half knowing how to let things proceed on their own.
(January 8, from 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, by Deng Ming-Dao)
