Bodhinyana
"Don't be in a hurry and try to push or rush your practice. Do your meditation gently and gradually step by step. In regard to peacefulness, if you become peaceful, then accept it; if you don't become peaceful, then accept that also. That's the nature of the mind. We must find our own practice and persistently keep at it."

STOP ROTTING IN THE QUAGMIRE OF SAMSARA!!!
To study the Buddha way
Is to study oneself.
To study oneself
Is to forget oneself.
To forget oneself is to be
Enlightened by the myriad dharmas.
To be enlightened
By the myriad dharmas
Is to bring about the dropping away
Of body and mind and
Of both oneself and others.
The traces of enlightenment
Come to an end
And this traceless enlightenment
Is continued endlessly.
~ Eihei Dogen (1200-1253)

D.T. Suzuki Quotation
Zen is a wafting cloud in the sky.
No screw fastens it,
no string holds it;
it moves as it lists.
No amount of meditation
will keep Zen in one place.
- D.T. Suzuki
