Shunryu Suzuki said this quote

I discovered that it is necessary, absolutely necessary, to believe in nothing. That is, we have to believe in something which has no form and no color--something which exists before all forms and colors appear... No matter what god or doctrine you believe in, if you become attached to it, your belief will be based more or less on a self-centered idea.

~ Shunryu Suzuki

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few

~ Shunryu Suzuki

Christopher McCandless:I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.

~ Shunryu Suzuki

In your very imperfections you will find the basis for your firm, way-seeking mind.
