You may forget the words
but the words don't forget you.
Hi, hello, yes, words are important.....
A Word (Emily Dickinson)
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
We must strive to make our own words kind. For all sorts of reasons. For ourselves as well as for others.
Protecting oneself one protects others
Protecting others one protects oneself

Thich nhat hanh says 'breathe and smile'
Id doubtfully say something like
'breathe and see within'
'breathe and insight'
'breathe and slowly understand'
Why did he say to smile?

A genuine smile, a smile with the eyes. No words necessary; one of the best forms of communication (ahimsa).

I have been searching in each piece of my alarm clock, to come to know how it is constructed. And now, it doesn't function anymore.

The jewel lies in simplicity (simple life).
My religion is simplicity.
Amaunt of pain and suffering is potential, content, and form is form - how its realised. And best form is simplicity. (and simple life is monastic life)

An airplane can't take a way without getting height likewise you can't take a way without understanding the zen mind.

As dust thrown against the wind, mischief is blown back in the face of the fool who wrongs the pure and harmless.

The ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna; the wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought for themselves.

Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning.
(10 bulls no:9)
Translation :
Better to have no idea about anything from the beginning.
my comment :
Do not label any person or situation.
that when the mind is clear all is clear.
so give all your decisions with a clear mind;
and not according to someone and something.

The first rule of a zen student should know is :
"We can't know"
(my words)
2nd is it should be a routine/consistently habit.
3rd meditation mind -which is serene and calm is 'don't know'
