Zen Proverbs


Better to see the face than to hear the name.
Be master of mind rather than mastered by mind.

The infinite is in the finite of every instant.
The man who’s drunk water knows if it’s cool or warm.
No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.
From the withered tree, a flower blooms.
Only when you can be extremely pliable and soft can you be extremely hard and strong.
Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grow by itself.
If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are.
Two monks were describing a flapping flag. One said,”The flag is moving.” The other said,”The wind is moving.” Hui Neng happened to be passing by. He said,”Not the wind, not the flag; the mind is moving.” ~ Zen Koan
