A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha

When you don't understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.

Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.

All know the way, but few actually walk it.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.

The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.

The true Way is sublime. It can't be expressed in language. Of what use are scriptures? But someone who sees his own nature finds the Way, even if he can't read a word.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

You’ll never get it if you can’t see yourself having it.

Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.

You never know what curve balls life is going to throw you and there's no way I can predict anything or make any assumptions about what the rest of my life is going to be like.

Humility is a do thing, not a feel thing. Humility is an action, not a style.

The more you read, the better you get, the more better you get, the more you like it; and the more you like it, the more you do it.

Sometimes a collage element I hit upon can inspire the entire drawing.

Politics is everywhere. It's in your shirt, it's in your pants. It's everywhere.

In England I am not English, in India I am not Indian. I am chained to the 1,000 square miles that is Trinidad; but I will evade that fate yet.

How in the world any one weighing 185 pounds can be cute is beyond me.
