Mystics and Zen Masters Quotes

“Zen is the very awareness of the dynamism of life living itself in us—and aware of itself, in us, as being the one life that lives in all.”
― Thomas Merton, Mystics and Zen Masters

“Mere sitting at home and meditating on the divine presence is not enough for our time. We have to come to the end of a long journey and see that the stranger we meet there is no other than ourselves—which is the same as saying that we find Christ in him. For if the Lord is risen, as He said, He is actually or potentially alive in every man.”
― Thomas Merton, Mystics and Zen Masters

“our material riches unfortunately imply a spiritual, cultural, and moral poverty that are perhaps far greater than we see.”
― Thomas Merton, Mystics and Zen Masters
