Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Alan Sharland
The perfect way is without difficulty
Save that it avoids picking and choosing.
Only when you stop liking and disliking
Will all be clearly understood.
A split hair’s difference,
And Heaven and Earth are set apart!
If you want to get the plain truth,
Be not conce
ed with right and wrong.
The conflict between right and wrong
Is the sickness of the mind.
From Hsin-hsi Ming by Seng-ts’an quoted in 'The Way of Zen' by Alan Watts.
"I don’t know what’s best for me or you or the world. I don’t try to impose my will on you or anyone else. I don’t want to change you or improve you or convert you or help you or heal you. I just welcome things as they come and go. That’s true love. The best way of leading people is to let them find their own way.
