Quiet Lotus Meditation

“The press of my foot to the earth springs a hundred affections.”

“This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on seas and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.”

“In life, just as on the artist’s palette, there is but one single color that gives meaning to life and art—the color of love.”

“The movement of life has its rest in its own music.”

“Open the window to the west, and be lost in the sky of love;

“Look deep, deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”

“Be yourself. Life is precious as it is. All the elements for your happiness are already here. There is no need to run, strive, search, or struggle. Just be.”

“Happiness … not in another place but this place, not for another hour but this hour.”
