You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

God has no religion.

A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes.

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Faith is one of the most effective tools in the human equipment. I believe that faith works.

Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?

I have a bit of supernatural take on life. For a moment, I went over to the other side. Since then, I can feel the presence of the departed. I’m very sensitive to it.

I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I’m not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things,

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.

Zen is not an art, it’s not a religion. It’s a realisation.

Our God is a forgiving God.

If you want to climb a mountain, begin at the top.

The Zen expression Kill the Buddha!” means to kill any concept of the Buddha as something apart from oneself.

You’ve got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body’s sermon on how to behave.

In the end, only three things matter: How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.
