“Let go. Learn to flow with all the changes that come up. Loosen up and relax.”
Bhante Henepola Gunaratana
“If we don’t try, we will not know.”
Ayya Khema
“The essence of our experience is change. Change is incessant. Moment by moment life flows by and it is never the same. Perpetual alternation is the essence of the perceptual universe. A thought springs up in your head and half a second later, it is gone. In comes another one, and that is gone too. A sound strikes your ears, and then silence. Open your eyes and the world pours in, blink and it is gone, too. People come into your life and they leave again. Friends go, relatives die. Your fortunes go up, and they go down. Sometimes you win and just as often you lose. it is incessant change, change, change.”
Bhante Henepola Gunaratana
“Zen in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one’s being, and it points the way from bondage to freedom.”
