Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean.
Some believe all that parents, tutors, and kindred believe. They take their principles by inheritance, and defend them as they would their estates, because they are born heirs to them.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
