Zen Quotes

Water which is too pure has no fish

A Donkey carrying a pile of holy books is still a donkey

The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.

A flower falls even though we love it,
Weed grows even though we do not love it.


If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,
Does the falling tree still makes a sound?


When you get to the top of the mountain, keep climbing

Possessing much knowledge is like having a thousand foot fishing
line with a hook, but the fish is always an inch beyond the hook.


Nothing is weaker than water & Nothing is harder than the rocks
Still a slow flow of water can cut through the mountains of rocks


Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
when you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you


The mind that does not understand is the buddha. There is no other

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day
Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime


Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt


Life is like stepping onto a boat that is about to sail out to sea and sink

When you seek it, you cannot find it

Importance of Breathing

Breathing is the primary function of human body which keeps him alive. This signifies the importance of breathing, we are alive till we are breathing and we are dead once we stop breathing. But we hardly ever notice that we are breathing, breathing normally happens mechanically.You may ask me why should I know about breathing when it is automatically taken care off. Yes, it is automatically happening, but that is the problem, when breathing happens without our consciousness, it gets affected by our emotions and most of the time we will be doing shallow breathing. Our emotions vary across the day, getting angry, always in a hurry, sad etc. In turn during these emotions our mind works more on emotions and forgets breathing, when breathing is neglected it often becomes shallow and abnormal.At any point if we just observe our breathing we will know what state of mind we are in, we are at peace or going through a problem or trouble. If we are at peace or joyous our breathing will be normal,...
