Be the Buddha

Don't quote the Buddha,

be the Buddha.

Eckhart Tolle

Cluttered vs. Empty

If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind,
of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?

Albert Einstein

Sit for an Hour

You should sit in meditation
for twenty minutes a day.
Unless you're too busy.
Then you should sit
for an hour.

Zen Saying

Serve as a Bad Example

No one is completely useless.
You can always serve as
a bad example.

Jim Beaver

Tired of Their Own Bullshit

I've never seen any life transformation
that didn't begin with the person in question
finally getting tired of their own bullshit.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Bad Luck vs. Worse Luck

Anyway, you never know what worse luck
your bad luck has saved you from.

Cormac McCarthy ("No Country for Old Men")

Go Slow

Go slow, then you'll know
where to seek the truth,
when to speak your truth
from your heart.
Go slow, then you'll know
that the only way to enjoy
this day is right now.
