Ma-Tsu
The tighter you squeeze, the less you have. The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves. The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. ?Ma-Tsu You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. ?Mumon Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. ?Zen Saying No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. ?Tilopa When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. ?Ying-An There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. ?Yuan-Wu The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. ?Robert M. Pirsig Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. ?Zen Proverb Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
