#emptiness

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace.

If you want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be reborn, let yourself die.

Sunday neurosis is that kind of depression which afflicts people who become aware of the lack of content in their lives when the rush of the busy week is over.

The flute must be empty for the breath of the singer to create sweet music.

Meditation is the emptying of the mind of all memory.

The flute is hollow within; that is why the Master can play the sweetest melodies through it.

The true temple is built without bricks or mortar; its pillars are truth, its roof is love, its altar is peace.

He who has found the inner treasure walks as a sovereign king through the poorest alleyways.

The moon shines in full glory without competing with the stars; abide in your own authentic light.

The honeycomb is filled with sweetness drop by drop; build your character through small, daily acts of virtue.

Hearing stops with the ears. Thinking stops with the mind. The spirit is an emptiness that waits upon all things.

The flute is silent until breath fills its hollow; let yourself become empty so the divine melody can pour through you.

When the mind is empty, the universe pours in.
