No mud, no

lotus.

 
Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

Banish existence 

and you fall into existence; follow emptiness

and you turn your back on it. Excessive talking and thinking

turn you from harmony with the Way. Cut off talking

and thinking, and there is nowhere

you cannot penetrate.

 

Seng Ts’an

 

 

Turn the caldron

of your self upside down and pour

out what is inferior. By purifying yourself

of bad habits and attitudes now you

make possible outstanding

achievements.

In the springtime,

thousands of different kinds of flowers

bloom. Your heart can also bloom. You can let your

heart open up to the world. Love is possible — do not be afraid

of it. Love is indispensable to life, and if in the past you

have suffered because of love, you can

learn to love again.

 

Thich Nhat Hanh

Every instance 

of recognizing a teacher 

is an authorization of spiritual power. 

The most important one of these, and the only 

absolutely necessary one on the way to 

complete realization, is recognizing 

yourself as your own 

teacher.
