Zen Quotes

Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Zen masters say you cannot see your reflection in running..."
Zen masters say you cannot see your reflection in running water, only in still water. Elizabeth Gilbert
Mercedes Lackey quote: "Zen Hugs - the hugs that you would get, if we were there, if..."
Zen Hugs - the hugs that you would get, if we were there, if we could hug you, but we aren't, and we can't. Mercedes Lackey
Zen is a liberation from time. For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality. Alan Watts
David Sylvian quote: "Zen Buddhism is a discipline where belief isn't necessary."
Zen Buddhism is a discipline where belief isn't necessary. David Sylvian
Gene Clark quote: "Zen, per se, is not just an art, it's not just a religion,..."
Zen, per se, is not just an art, it's not just a religion, it's a realisation. Gene Clark
Zen teaches that once we can open up to the inevitability of our demise, we can begin to transform that situation and lighten up about it. Allen Klein
I have my own way to walk and for some reason or other Zen is right in the middle of it wherever I go. So there it is, with all its beautiful purposelessness, and it has become very familiar to me though I do not know "what it is." Or even if it is an "it." Not to be foolish and multiply words, I'll say simply that it seems to me that Zen is the very atmosphere of the Gospels, and the Gospels are bursting with it. It is the proper climate for any monk, no matter what kind of monk he may... Thomas Merton
Until today, it really pissed me off that I'd become this totally centered Zen Master and nobody had noticed. Still, I'm doing the little FAX thing. I write little HAIKU things and FAX them around to everyone. When I pass people in the hall at work, I get totally ZEN right in everyone's hostile little FACE. Chuck Palahniuk
What’s that mean?” Eddie asked. “I hate it when you start up with your Zen Buddhist shit, Roland.” “It means I don’t know,” Roland said. “Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?” Eddie looked at Roland for a long, long time before deciding the gunslinger was making one of his rare jokes. “Ah, get outta here... Stephen King
Robert M. Pirsig quote: "The only zen you will find on top of a mountain is the zen you..."
The only zen you will find on top of a mountain is the zen you bring up there. Robert M. Pirsig
The secret of this kind of climbing, is like Zen. Don't think. Just dance along. It's the easiest thing in the world, actually easier than walking on flat ground which is monotonous. The cute little problems present themselves at each step and yet you don't hesitate and you find yourself on some other boulder you picked out for no special reason at all, just like zen.~ Japhy Jack Kerouac
Robert M. Pirsig quote: "The only Zen you find on tops of mountains is the Zen you..."
The only Zen you find on tops of mountains is the Zen you bring there. Robert M. Pirsig
Bodhidharma quote: "Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this,..."
Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen. Bodhidharma
Until today, it really pissed me off that I'd become this totally centered Zen Master, and nobody had noticed. Still, i'm doing the little FAX thing. I write little HAIKU things and FAX them around to everyone. When i pass people in the hall at work, I get toally ZEN right in everyone's hostile little FACE. Chuck Palahniuk
