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. 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[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  He that is alive may know that he was born, though he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, c.326  He that is alive may know that he was born, though he know neither the place where nor the time when he was so; and so may he that is spiritually alive, and hath ground of evidence that he is so, that he was born again, though he know neither when, nor where, nor how. And this case is usual in persons of quiet natural tempers, who have had the advantage of education under means of light and grace.
