Daily Zen - Thursday, August 29

If you say you have 

attained something, 

this is the surest proof 

that you have gone astray. 

Therefore, not to have is to have; 

silence is thunder; 

ignorance is enlightenment.

~ D.T. Suzuki

Daily Zen - Wednesday, July 12

Zen teaches nothing; 

it merely enables us to 

wake up and become aware. 

It does not teach, it points.

~ D.T. Suzuki

The most important thing

is love.

~ D.T. Suzuki

Daily Zen - Tuesday, August 3

The value of human life lies in the fact

of suffering, for where there is no suffering,

no consciousness of karmic bondage,

there will be no power of attaining 

spiritual experience. Unless we agree 

to suffer, we cannot be free of suffering.

~ D.T. Suzuki

Weekend Zen, January 2-3

To get the clearest and most efficient understanding

of a thing, therefore, it must be experienced personally.

~ D.T. Suzuki
