“Life is beyond meaning and that’s why it is so beautiful.” Jaggi Vasudev

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.” Buddha

“The Tao gives rise to all forms, yet it has no form of its own. If you attempt to fix a picture of it in your mind, you will lose it. This is like pinning a butterfly: the husk is captured, but the flying is lost. Why not be content with simply experiencing it?” Lao Tzu

“Wherever you are, be there totally.” Eckhart Tolle

“Do not try to fix whatever comes in your life. Fix yourself in such a way that whatever comes, you will be fine.” Jaggi Vasudev

“The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind.” Jaggi Vasudev

“Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.” Eckhart Tolle

“Practice is this life, and realization is this life, and this life is revealed right here and now.” Taizan Maezumi

“Learn only how to avoid seeking for and attaching yourselves to anything.” Huang Po

“If a man is intelligent everything that happens is an opportunity; if a man is stupid everything that happens is a disaster.” Jaggi Vasudev

“The first undeniable reality is that every living thing dies, and the second undeniable reality is that we suffer throughout our lives because we don’t understand death. The truth derived from these two points is the importance of clarifying the matter of birth and death. The third undeniable reality is that all of the thoughts and feelings that arise in my head simply arise haphazardly, by chance. And the conclusion we can derive from that is not to hold on to all that comes up in our head. That is what we are doing when we sit zazen.” Kosho Uchiyama

“Being with a Master is never comfortable, because He will break all your limitations, all your ideologies.” Jaggi Vasudev

“Life is the dancer and you are the dance.” Eckhart Tolle

“Have good trust in yourself, not in the One that you think you should be, but in the One that you are.” Taizan Maezumi

“Throughout this life, you can never be certain of living long enough to take another breath.” Huang Po
