Sois ce que tu es vraiment
#authenticité #citation #JokoBeck #Shakespeare

« Sois ce que tu es vraiment et, aussi sûrement que le jour succède à la nuit, tu ne tromperas jamais personne. »
– Shakespeare, paroles mises dans la bouche de Polonius, dans: Charlotte Joko Beck, Soyez zen : La pratique du zen au quotidien, Pocket, 1990, p. 182

Preferimos la destrucción al cambio
Primero morir en medio del temor
Que escalar la cruz del momento
Y dejar nuestras ilusiones

We're out of touch with the open space that is always right here
#JokoBeck

Leaves fall; debris and garbage accumulate; out of the debris come flowers, greenery, things that we think are lovely
#JokoBeck

#Joy is being willing for things to be as they are
#JokoBeck

Everything is impermanent; sooner or later everything goes away
#JokoBeck

We must live & die. And this process is perfection itself
#JokoBeck

The violence & the anger in us remain unnoticed, because we are caught in our pictures of how we should be
#JokoBeck

Memory is imagination. Every memory that we stick to devastates our life
#JokoBeck

That's the magic moment - when we realize that searching outside of ourselves is not the way
#JokoBeck

Impermanence is, in fact, just another name for perfection
#JokoBeck

Most of our difficulties, our hopes & our worries are empty fantasies
#JokoBeck

We're either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we're doing something else
#JokoBeck

The violence & the anger in us remain unnoticed, because we are caught in our pictures of how we should be
#JokoBeck

Joy has no tension in it, because joy accepts whatever is as it is
#JokoBeck

My dog doesn't worry about the meaning of life
#JokoBeck
