don't push it away.

When it goes,

do not grieve.

Don't take the world upon 

your shoulders. You don't 

have such a responsibility. 

Your responsibility is to

find and be your Self.

is the simplest. What is difficult

is to stop being what you are not.

If today was your

make any difference to you?

Why not then live like this?

Your urge to control life

controls you.

is only a tourist. And I am not a hotel. 

Let them come and let them go.

To change yourself is not your duty.

To awaken to your true nature is your opportunity.

If you are desperate, you will discover.

Do not worry about what "others" may do to you.

Strive only to know yourself completely. 

Then, you can move in this world like the wind.

Who can command the wind?

Weekend Zen, July 15-16

Throw everything away, forget about it all!

You are learning too much, remembering too much,

trying too hard...relax a little bit, 

give life a chance to flow its own way, 

unassisted by your mind and effort. 

Stop directing the river's flow.

~ Mooji

Your heart is the light of this world.

Don't cover it with your mind.

Step into the fire of self-discovery. 

This fire will not burn you,

it will only burn what you are not.

Truth cannot only comfort you.

At times, it has to cut through to the bone,

to the marrow even, 

if this is what it takes to set you free.

~ Mooji

Daily Zen - Friday, April 29

I don't have to be anything at all.

I don't even have to be myself, 

because there is no such thing as not 

being myself. I am inescapably myself. 

~ Mooji
