The four Zen mottos

 

 “special transmission outside doctrine,” 

“not to establish language,” 

“direct point to the mind,”

 and 

“seeing into one's nature and attaining the Buddhahood,



The essence of Zen

 

 attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, 

without being misled by logical thought or language




Zen

 

enlightenment is achieved through the profound realization that one is already an enlightened being.


Zen

 

simplicity, 

present-moment awareness, 

nonduality, 

nonconceptual understanding, 

and zazen (“just sitting”) meditation




Zen philosophy

 

the denial of the ego, 

the focus on interconnectedness in the universe, 

the recognition of attachment as a source of suffering, 

and the realization that human perception is faulty



 

you are not special, 

you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake




Slide

 

No distractions. 

The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.

 needs to let things go. 


To allow yourself to not be bothered by everything.




 

First, You've Gotta Know – Not Fear, Know – That Someday, You're Gonna Die.”

We've all heard the quote: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." 

Easy for Thomas Edison to say. He had all the good ideas. 

Inspiration is not some mystical, unattainable thing. Inspiration is a seed. That seed turns into vision. That vision turns into a goal. 

And hopefully, that goal turns into victory.


 I said, hopefully.

When we come to depend on a cycle, the thought of breaking it is scary. 

Even if the cycle causes harm. 

But sometimes, when we break the cycle, we find something better, something unexpected. Something we never dared to dream was possible. 

We find freedom. 

We find peace.



Something for the Pain by Bon Jovi

 

Happiness, it's been no friend to meBut forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to beYeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasyBut I almost lost my faith when I hit realityI don't need no Guru to tell me what to doWhen your feeling like a headline on yesterday's news

Loneliness has found a home in me
My suitcase and guitar are my only familyI've tried to need someone, like they needed meI opened up my heart, but all I did was bleedI don't need no lover, just to get screwed, They don't make no band-aide that's gonna to cover my bruise

Pull me under (Help I'm falling)Run through my veins (Night is calling)To a place (Feels like I'm flying)Where I feel no pain (Christ I'm dying)Be the pillow under my headCover me when I'm in your bedTake me higher than I've ever beenTake me down and back againCome to me, be my disguiseOpen your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come onGive me something for the painGive me something for the bluesGive me something for the painWhen I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's nooseGive me shelter from the rainGive me something I can useTo get me through the nightMake me feel all rightSomething like you, come on, come on, come on



 

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." 

maybe they didn't mean physical pain. 

Maybe they meant the other kind, the worse kind. 

Maybe they meant the kind of searing, seething, boiling pain that tells you you're a failure and a fraud.

 Suffering is optional. 

That person didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.

. Any day you wake up and your body's still moving is a good day. 

You can start over. You can forget your past mistakes. You can make a new start. Live everyday like it's your last. All that crap they put on pillows and car bumpers, it's all true.

You're alive. Respect that. 

Not everybody is. 

We can start over. Every day, we get second chances to become who we always wanted to be. We can leave our past behind or we can learn from it and honor it.

 We can decide.


 It's never too late to change



12   12  

 

Every new beginning 

is some other beginning's end 



 

You play with matches, you get burnt 



 


life itself is will to power.




 


What does not kill me makes me stronger.”



Netzsche

 

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.”


 “When you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”


 “Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.”


 “Become who you are.”




nietzsche

That which does not kill me 

makes me stronger

The Windmills of Your Mind

 

Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon

Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own

Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone

Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream

Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head

Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?

Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand

Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?

Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song

Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?

When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware

That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel

As the images unwind, like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind






 

 Funny, isn't it, the way memory works? 

The things you can't quite remember, and the things you can never forget.

 There can be beauty in getting lost. 

Sometimes we have to get lost to find each other. And sometimes we find each other, only to get lost all over again. 

You can't always control it, the thing that's going to set you adrift.

 And as you stand there on the front porch, staring at the life you're about to leave behind, you have to accept it's gone, it's lost, just like you. 

All you can do now is stand very still, breathe in the moment, and try to be open to wherever the wind's going to take you next.



Change

 

Change is a funny thing and not everyone can handle it. 

It can sneak up on you. Things aren't what they used to be. Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. 

Things are uncertain and there's no turning back. The world around you is different now, unrecognizable, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're stuck. 

Your future is staring you in the face and you’re not sure you like what you see

 You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advisers. 

But in the end, the decision is always yours, and yours alone. 

And when it's time to act, and you're all alone with your back against the wall... the only voice that matters is the one in your head. 

The one telling you what you probably already knew. 

The one that's almost always right
