There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here at lastWe shall be free;the Almighty hath not builtHere for his envy, will not drive us hence:Here we may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here at lastWe shall be free;the Almighty hath not builtHere for his envy, will not drive us hence:Here we may reign secure, and in my choiceTo reign is worth ambition though in Hell:Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven. - Paradise Lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. -Carl Sagan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. -Carl Sagan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57501]]></link><description><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind is ensnared by competition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got high expectations this year.
