To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment.
Chuang Tzu
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
Chuang Tzu
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words. Where can I find someone who's forgotten words so I can have a word with him?
Chuang Tzu
Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.

The perfect man employs his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing; it refuses nothing. It receives, but does not keep.
Chuang Tzu
Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for much knowledge is a curse.
Chuang Tzu
If you have insight, you use your inner eye, your inner ear, to pierce to the heart of things, and have no need of intellectual knowledge.
Chuang Tzu
And how do I know that the hate of death is not like a man who has lost his home when young and does not know where his home is to return to?
