Da ih i ja par dodam :D
Lao Tse:
-"Milost i nemilost uzrok su straha. `to cijenimo i
ega se bojimo, u nama je samima."
-"Poznavati druge je inteligencija; poznavati sebe je prava mudrost. Kontrola drugih je snaga; kontrola sebe samog je prava mo."
-"Svijet mo~emo upoznati a da i ne otvorimo vrata. Smisao neba mo~emo doku
iti a da i ne pogledamo kroz prozor."
-"Onome koji ne misli samo na sebe otkrivaju se svi oblici i stvari: u svojem kretanju on je kao voda; u svojem mirovanju on je kao ogledalo, ili kao jeka."
-"Ko zna da ne zna, najviai je; ko misli da zna, ograni
en je. Ko prepoznaje svoju ograni
enost, nema granica."
Buda:
- "Ne vjeruj zato ato je to mudrac rekao,
Ne vjeruj zato ato je to uobi
ajeno mialjenje,
Ne vjeruj zato ato je to zapisano,
Ne vjeruj zato ato je to prore
eno,
Ne vjeruj zato ato netko drugi to vjeruje,
Ali vjeruj sam onom ato si sam prosudio da je istina."
-"Ono ato jesmo, proizvod smo vlastitog razmialjanja."
-"}ivot nije niata viae od kapi rose koja dr~i ravnote~u na vrhu travke".
-"Nikad se mr~nja ne uklanja mr~njom. Samo blagost briae svaku mr~nju. To je zakon vje
an i nepromjenjiv"
-"Hiljade svijea se mogu zapaliti od jedne, a ~ivot te svijee se nee umanjiti. Srea nikada nije umanjena kada je podijeljena sa drugima"
Morihei Ueshiba:
-"I am the Universe."
-"Techniques employ four qualities that reflect the nature of our world. Depending on the circumstance, you should be: hard as a diamond, flexible as a willow, smooth-flowing like water, or as empty as space."
-"The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing."
-"There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within."
-"When you bow deeply to the universe, it bows back; when you call out the name of God, it echoes inside you."
-"All things, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization."
-"The Art of Peace is medicine for a sick world. There is evil and disorder in the world because people have forgotten that all things emanate from one source. Return to that source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger. Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything."
-"Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself."
-"Peace originates with the flow of things --- its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path."
-"As soon as you concern yourself with the "good" and "bad" of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you."
-"The only cure for materialism is the cleansing of the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind). If the senses are clogged, one's perception is stifled. The more it is stifled, the more contaminated the senses become. This creates disorder in the world, and that is the greatest evil of all. Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body and soul will glow."
-"Each and every master, regardless of the era or place, heard the call and attained harmony with heaven and earth. There are many paths leading to the top of Mount Fuji, but there is only one summit --- love."
-"Your mind should be in harmony with the functioning of the universe; your body should be in tune with the movement of the universe; body and mind should be bound as one, unified with the activity of the universe. "
-"Those who are enlightened never stop forging themselves. The realizations of such masters cannot be expressed well in words or by theories. The most perfect actions echo the patterns found in nature."
-"The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang. "
-"A true warrior is always armed with the three things: the radiant sword of pacification; the mirror of bravery, wisdom, and friendship; and the precious jewel of enlightenment."
-"The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing."
-"Functioning harmoniously together, right and left give birth to all techniques. The left hand takes hold of life and death; the right hand controls it. The four limbs of the body are the four pillars of heaven, and manifest the eight directions, yin and yang, inner and outer. "
-"The body should be triangular, the mind circular. The triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for solidity, the basis of applied control."
-"Your spirit is the true shield."
-"If you perceive the true form of heaven and earth, you will be enlightened to your own true form. If you are enlightened about a certain principle, you can put it into practice. After each practical application, reflect on your efforts. Progress continually like this."
-"Unite yourself to the cosmos, and the thought of transcendence will disappear. Transcendence belongs to the profane world. When all trace of transcendence vanishes, the true person --- the Divine Being --- is manifest. Empty yourself and let the Divine function."
-"Ultimately, you must forget about technique. The further you progress, the fewer teachings there are. The Great Path is really No Path."
-"The Path is exceedingly vast. From ancient times to the present day, even the greatest sages were unable to perceive and comprehend the entire truth; the explanation and teachings of masters and saints express only part of the whole. It is not possible for anyone to speak of such things in their entirety. Just head for the light and heat, learn from the gods, and through the virtue of devoted practice of the Art of Peace, become one with the Divine."
Tenzin Gyatso:
-"Nema potrebe za hramovima i kompliciranim filozofijama. Naa vlastiti mozak i srce je naa hram; moja filozofija je ljubaznost."
Zhuangzi:
-"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things."
Goa Gil:
-"You can be in the world and use the things of the world,but you should not be attached to those things. Its just using them as tools. Also the Ego and the senses. Ego is the element that holds the 5 elements of the creation together. Ego is the cement. Without Ego, the cosmic Ego, there would be no creation at all.
All of these are tools for the soul, our soul, to come into this world and experience the things of the world, and find fulfillment and completion. And we should see them as tools. Emotions also. If we don't attach to it we can use it as a tool. If we attach to it, it overtakes our mind and drives us crazy and we lose control and we don't know what we are doing anymore.
Its all how you look at it.
That's the tricky thing, but that is the SECRET."
