Quote by Miles Neale

“The final disappearing act of the great magician, the great medicine itself, is that a correct view of emptiness prevents even emptiness from being the final source of clinging. The point is that we have nothing to hold on to – not the world of forms and differentiation, not the formless realm of oneness, and not even the dissolving method of emptiness. „Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone utterly beyond, hail awakening“ as the Heart Sutra pronounces. (p. 204)”

“...Naakal öğretisine göre Tanrı, sevginin ta kendisidir ve tüm evreni de sevgi üzerine kurulmuştur....Naakal inancının bir diğer temel dayanağı, tanrısal nurdan çıkmış olan dört temel gücün kainatı kaostan düzene geçirmiş oldukları teorisiydi. ... Bu dört temel güç,"dört büyük inşaatçı, mimar, geometri üstadı olarak adlandırılır. Bu dört temel elaman ateş, yel, su ve topraktır. Naakallar bu dört temel gücü gamalı haç ile sembolize etmişlerdir.

“A frog is very interesting. He sits like us, too, you know. But he does not think that he is doing anything so special. When you go to a zendo and sit, you may think you are doing some special thing. While your husband or wife is sleeping, you are practicing zazen! You are doing some special thing, and your spouse is lazy! That may be your understanding of zazen. But look at the frog. A frog also sits like us, but he has no idea of zazen. Watch him. If something annoys him, he will make a face. If something comes along to eat, he will snap it up and eat, and he eats sitting. Actually that is our zazen—not any special thing.”

“The Father's love does not force itself on the beloved. Although he wants to heal us of all our inner darkness, we are still free to make our own choice to stay in the darkness or to step into the light of God's love. God is there. God's light is there. God's forgiveness there. God's boundless love is there. What is so clear is that God is always there, always ready to give and forgive, absolutely independent of our response. God's love does not depend on our repentance or our inner or outer changes.”
