Read an Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

VERSE 1

To keep the body in good health is a duty ... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.

— Buddha

VERSE 2

To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

— Chuang Tzu

VERSE 3

Calmness of mind does not mean you should stop your activity. Real calmness should be found in activity itself. We say, "It is easy to have calmness in inactivity, it is hard to have calmness in activity, but calmness in activity is true calmness."

— Shunryu Suzuki

VERSE 4

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything, it is open to everything. IN the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few.

— Shunryu Suzuki

VERSE 5

Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate.

— Huang Po

VERSE 6

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting it's light.

— Dogen Zenji

VERSE 7

When an ordinary man attains knowledge, he is a sage; when a sage affairs understandings, he is an ordinary man.

— Zen Proverb

VERSE 8

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

— Pema Choron
