Daily Zen - Wednesday, July 5

Don't hold onto anything, especially 

the teaching, and especially the practice. 

Because the teaching that you can hold 

onto could never be real teaching, 

because the teaching is really just life. 

Life as it really is. Not as we imagine it, 

but as it really is, right where we are.

~ Norman Fischer

Daily Zen - Monday, April 24

Time is constantly passing. 

If you really consider this fact, 

you will be simultaneously amazed 

and terrified. Time is passing, even 

for tiles, walls, and pebbles. This 

means that every moment dies itself. 

As soon as it arises, it is gone.

Time is constantly passing. If you

really consider this fact, you will be 

simultaneously amazed and terrified. 

Time is passing, even for tiles, walls, and

pebbles. This means that every moment dies 

to itself. As soon as it arises, it is gone...

Arising and passing away are simultaneous.

Daily Zen - Wednesday, August 11

Don't hold onto anything, 

especially the (zen) teaching... 

Because the teaching that you can

hold onto could never be the real teaching, 

because the teaching is really just life. 

Life as it really is. Not as we imagine it, 

but as it really is, right where we are.
