Believe nothing because a wise man said it,
Believe nothing because it is generally held,
Believe nothing because it is written,
Believe nothing because it is said to be divine,
Believe nothing because someone else believes it,
But believe only what you yourself judge to be true.
The Buddha.
Wisdom is the greatest gift of all
Yet only the Creator of the Universe can be all knowing.
The best that we can strive for is enough wisdom to enjoy life, and in some way enrich the lives of others.
The Zen understanding, at its very essence, is that the mind is unreliable, it changes throughout life as it accumulates a mixture of true and sometime false information, from which `knowledge` the mind basis its attitudes, opinions, and ideas.
Whereas `no-mind` is always the same ; unpolluted.
The entire Universe is Zen, doing things and working according to the way things are, and not being influenced by any false information, attitudes and beliefs.
To be in Zen is to not be separated or different from the world, rather it is to be in harmony, so that the person becomes the river, and knows what it feels like to be a river, and the river is the person, for everything is alive and a part of the Universe.
A seeker of wisdom is fathoming Tao,
Both are in Zen - so humble and still,
Quietly humming the melodies of heaven.
