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. 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[All three of them are competitive kids and they have always been successful players.

Is it to be a burden to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever stop to ask what a yoke is really for? Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Law, Priest, Mystic, 1761 Commemoration of William of Ockham, Franciscan Friar, Philosopher, Teacher, 1347 Commemoration of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Priest, Scientist, Visionary, 1955  The pure, mere love of God is that alone from which sinners are justly to expect that no sin will pass unpunished, but that His love will visit them with every calamity and distress that can help to break and purify the bestial heart of man and awaken in him true repentance and conversion to God. It is love alone in the holy Deity that will allow no peace to the wicked, nor ever cease its judgments till every sinner is forced to confess that it is good for him that he has been in trouble, and thankfully own that not the wrath but the love of God has plucked out that right eye, cut off that right band, which he ought to have done but would not do for himself and his own salvation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50271]]></link><description><![CDATA[In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man will ever bring out of the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48157]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man will ever bring out of the Presidency the reputation which carries him into it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can have value without being an object of utility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A blustering night, a faire day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49003]]></link><description><![CDATA[A blustering night, a faire day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they hit that 3, I thought Sterling's 3 when we came right back down in transition was pretty big. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37925]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they hit that 3, I thought Sterling's 3 when we came right back down in transition was pretty big.
