The Zen Way

“We teach ourselves; Zen merely points the way.” — D. T. Suzuki

“The basic idea of Zen is to come in touch with the inner workings of our being, and to do so in the most direct way possible, without resorting to anything external.” — D. T. Suzuki

“Emotionally we have many problems, but these problems are not actual problems; they are something created; they are problems pointed out by our self-centered ideas or views.” — Shunryu Suzuki

Sometimes things don’t turn out as you want them to. What you need to do is to come to terms with this, and enjoy the road.
