What is worship?
To realize reality.
What is the sacred law?
To do no evil.
What is reality?
Selflessness.

– Ansari of Herat

Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing more courageous, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller nor better in heaven and earth; because love is born of God, and cannot rest but in God, above all created things.

– Thomas A Kempis

Let go of hundreds of years and relax completely.
Open your hands and walk, innocent.
Thousands of words, myriad interpretations,
are only to free you from obstructions.

If you want to know the undying person in the hut,
don’t separate from this skin bag here and now.

– Shitou

Long periods of sitting till they ripen and grow all juicy inside,
but when you knock them on the head to see if they’re ready – sounds like nothing’s going on.

The ignorant think of me, who am the unmanifested spirit, as if I were really in human form. They do not understand that my supreme nature is changeless and most excellent. I am not invisible to all, for I am enveloped by the illusion of phenomenon. This deluded world does not know me as the unborn and the imperishable.

– From the Bhagavad Gita
