Zen quotes and sayings from famous Daoists, Buddhists, Zen Scholars and more. Some of these words are of the ancients while others are of modern flavor. These thoughts can be used as a way for attaining realization, even beyond enlightenment, of the true nature underlying all appearances. These quotes change daily.
Today's Quote:
All this dying is not the death of the physical form:
this body is only an instrument for the spirit.
There is many a martyred soul that has died to self in this world,
though it goes about like the living.
The animal self has died, though the body, which is its sword, survives:
the sword is still in the hand of that eager warrior.
The sword is the same sword; the person is not the same person,
but this appearance of identity bewilders you.
~ Rumi
