"We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness insidethat holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner spacethat makes it livable.We work with being, but non-being is what we use."
"In the end,The treasure of life is missed by those who hold on and gained by those who let go."
"Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity."
"A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving."
"The past has no power to stop youfrom being present now.Only your grievance aboutthe past can do that.What is grievance?The baggage of oldthought and emotion."
