Quiet Lotus Meditation

“The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.

“Thoughts pass in my mind like flocks of ducks in the sky.

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

“The soul is happy by nature; the soul is happiness itself.”

“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.”

“Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”

“The birth and death of the leaves are the rapid whirls of the eddy whose wider circles move slowly among stars.”

“Wisdom tells me I am nothing.

“In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.”

“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.”
