The true person is

Not anyone in particular;

But like the deep blue color

Of the limitless sky,

It is everyone,

Everywhere in the world.

~  Dogen

There is nothing better

That you can give to a person

Than to be present with them.

When you are fully present

You become love
And you share that becoming with others.

~ Kuan Yin

Be thirsty heart,

seek forever without rest.

Let this soundless longing

hidden deep inside you

be the source

of every word you say.

~ Rumi

Writing something 

To leave behind 

Is yet another kind of dream. 

When I awake I know that 

There will be no one to read it. 

~ Ikkyū

In the house of lovers, 
the music never stops, 
the walls are made of songs 
and the floor dances.

~ Rumi

The moon is a house
In which the mind is master.
Look very closely:
Only impermanence lasts.
This floating world, too, will pass.

~ Soseki

In delusion you take the south for the north
And grasp at this observation as being real.
Actually

north is originally the same as south
Upon awakening you will no longer doubt it.

~ Lung-men Fo-yen

woman herself is the true essence of beauty
