The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M.

Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face,  God's praises sound,  As in his sight,  With sweet delight,  Ye do abound.  Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's scary, ...

For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Core inflation was the good news in the report.
