zazen quotes(zen meditation quotes)
What we call I is just a swinging door, which moves when we inhale and when we exhale
- Shunryu Suzuki
In the correct meditation posture your mind and body have great power to accept things as they are whether agreeable or disagreeable.
- Shunryu Suzuki
To meditate does not mean to fight with a problem.
To meditate means to observe.
Your smile proves it.
It proves that you are being gentle with yourself,
that the sun of awareness is shining in you,
that you have control of your situation.
You are yourself,
and you have acquired some peace.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
as if it is the axis
on which the world earth revolves
slowly, evenly, without
rushing toward the future;
Live the actual moment.
Only this moment is life.
- Thich Nhat Hanh
