Ha..Ha..Ha.. What An illusional Statement!@DTSuzuki “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?”

Wisdom, Not Emptiness.@DTSuzuki“Emptiness which is conceptually liable to be mistaken for sheer nothingness is in fact the reservoir of infinite possibilities.”

Ha..Ha..Ha.. That Is Imaginations, Not Zen. @DTSuzuki Life, according to Zen, ought to be lived as a bird flies through the air, or as a fish swims in the water.

Wisdom, Not God.@DTSuzuki The greatest productions of art, whether painting, music, sculpture or poetry, have invariably this quality-something approaching the work of God.

Wisdom, Not Poetry.@DTSuzuki Zen Makes use, to a great extent, of poetic expressions; Zen is wedded to poetry.

Wisdom, Not Art. @DTSuzuki The truth of Zen, just a little bit of it, is what turns one’s humdrum life, a life of monotonous, uninspiring commonplace, into one of art, full of genuine inner creativity.

No, Practice Makes Perfect. @DTSuzuki The right art is purposeless, aimless! The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.

No, Life Is From One Known To Another Known. @DTSuzuki When traveling is made too easy and comfortable, its spiritual meaning is lost. This may be called sentimentalism, but a certain sense of loneliness engendered by traveling leads one to reflect upon the meaning of life, for life is after all a travelling from one unknown to another unknown.
