The Monkey and The Way of Zen Quotes

“The master continued, “The pond does not rush the ripples. The berry does not force itself to ripen. The moon does not fight the night. There is a rhythm to all things. And when you trust it, life unfolds with ease. Things fall into place. Your moment comes—exactly when it is meant to.”

“What you see is always shaped by what you look through. The world is not as it is—it is as you are. When your mind is still, you see clearly. When it is disturbed, you see distortions. If you believe the distortions, you suffer.”
