„Balancieren Sie Ihre Gedanken mit Aktion. - Wenn Sie zu viel Zeit damit verbringen, über etwas nachzudenken, werden Sie es nie schaffen.“

„Sei glücklich, aber niemals zufrieden.“

„Was IST ist wichtiger als was sein SOLLTE. Es gibt zu viele Menschen, die “das, was ist” aus einer Perspektive des “was sein sollte” sehen … Umstände? Zur Hölle mit den Umständen. Ich erschaffe Möglichkeiten.“

But with the advent of atomic physics, findings based on demonstrable experiment were seen to negate the dualistic theory, and the trend of thought since then has been back to the monistic conception of the ancient Taoists.”

“When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience; I am experience. I am not the subject of experience; I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.”

“The Western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality — to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. Thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. It is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.”

“The intangible represents the real power of the universe. It is the seed of the tangible.”

“You know what I want to think of myself? As a human being. Because, I mean I don't want to be like "As Confucius say," but under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family. It just so happens man that people are different.”

“True thusness is the substance of thought, and thought is the function of true thusness. There is no thought except that of true thusness. Thusness does not move, but its motion and function are inexhaustible.”
