    "The kingdom of heaven is within you."


    However, I would be this with the full weight of its implication. Not as a thing we hear from a pulpit, but the integration of everything we can learn about where and why we are.

    Lovely, and mine would be something one says at the beginning of the Passover Seder: "Let him who is hungry come and eat with us."

    A Zen precept, 6. Unconditionally accepting what each moment has to offer. This is the precept of Not Talking About Others Errors and Faults.

    it means, as long as what you do harms none (including yourself) do what you want to do.

    Laws and precepts are least followed in point of fact, and they are framed and the framer can make and break it. The history of them endorses this fact.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
