Zen is the purest of meditations: just sit silently, doing nothing.

Millions of beauties and splendors are waiting for you. You go on moving around and around, never entering into the temple of life. The door is the heart.

The day you leave, this will be your only contentment: if you have made the existence a little more beautiful.

If you are intelligent, if you are alert, the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.

This is the secret of the golden flower: if the heart can die the flower will bloom, die as you are so you can be reborn.

Be a man: accept the challenge of the unknown, of the beyond. Let it become a great dream in your being.

The path of Tao is not that of sudden enlightenment. It is not like Zen. Zen is sudden enlightenment, Tao is gradual growth.

If one comes to fundamentals then this is the most fundamental thing: the moment you are not, enlightenment is. With emptiness, the matter is settled.

Live in insecurity! Live in revolution! Be a rebel! Risk, because nothing is ever attained in life without risk. The more you risk, the closer you are to God. When you can risk all, all is yours.

Love is the key, love is the secret.

I would like Epicurus and Buddha to become one.

What is a Miracle? It is something that was once thought Impossible but became Possible with FAITH.

The person I am today would like to thank the person I was 5 years ago for not giving up. You're awesome!

A concentrated mind and a sitting body make for better prayer than a kneeling body and a mind half asleep.

It is the mind that shapes the body

It's not too late at all. You just don't yet know what you are capable of.

In a democracy, everyone has the right to criticise the Government.

Clear the mind of all worldly things. If you can't control your mind, how will you realize God?

From a Buddhist point of view, emotions are not real. As an actor, I manufacture emotions. They're a sense of play. But real life is the same. We're just not aware of it.

Anything is possible after midnight.
