From the great Bodhidharma, Chan Buddhism, 5th or 6th century CE. Delusion is one of the challenges of the mind in Buddhism. Its opposite is wisdom, which sees reality as it actually is: subject to change in ways that we can never quite anticipate.
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
It is the beauty within us that makes it possible to recognize the beauty around us.
The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
Henry David Thoreau
Let go of that which is ahead of you,
let go of that which has already gone,
and let go of the in-between.
If you have a heart that takes hold nowhere
you arrive at the place beyond all suffering
Dhammapada, 348
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone.
The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
Lin Yutang, 1895 – 1976, Chinese philosopher, linguist, novelist, and translator.
Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone
Alan Watts
Do not require a description of the countries toward which you sail.
The description does not describe them to you, and tomorrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
