The Zen Doctrine of No-Mind Quotes

“Emptiness constantly falls within our reach. It is always with us, and conditions all our knowledge, all our deeds and is our life itself. It is only when we attempt to pick it up and hold it forth as something before our eyes that it eludes us, frustrates all our efforts and vanishes like vapor.”
― D.T. Suzuki, The Zen Doctrine of No-Mind: The Significance of the Sūtra of Hui-Neng
