Dreams are appropriate to the age of the dreamer,
nightmares appropriate to any age.

Fumes arise from consumption,
dreams from dreams.

One man thought of the struggle to awaken as
"being always on the verge of a great discovery."
(But then again, some people never realize what it's about.)

There are no frauds at hand --
deceptions do not survive in the moment.

Those who seek freedom from confusion should look
to the immediate here-and-now.
There is no other time,
there is no other place,
and once that is realized,
how can uncertainty exist?

Daydreams are not only a time machine and a space ship,
but an excitement factory as well.

In the monastery's public lecture hall, a mystic so addressed the assembled,
"The reason it is so difficult to achieve enlightenment amidst the noise and
activity of everyday life is -- hey! could you people in the other room hold
it down, I'm trying to talk over here."

In the rest room of that same location was a sign which read,
"A day in which you have not done something that you normally do is one more day you
have wasted."
