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. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to have to be in a scoring race.
