“Zen is to religion what a Japanese "rock garden" is to a garden. Zen knows no god, no afterlife, no good and no evil, as the rock-garden knows no flowers, herbs or shrubs. It has no doctrine or holy writ: its teaching is transmitted mainly in the form of parables as ambiguous as the pebbles in the rock-garden which symbolise now a mountain, now a fleeting tiger. When a disciple asks "What is Zen?", the master's traditional answer is "Three pounds of flax" or "A decaying noodle" or "A toilet stick" or a whack on the pupil's head.” KnowsFormThreeEvilAsksAnswersTeachingRocksFlowerMastersHolyMountainGardenSticksDoctrineTraditionalPoundsAfterlifeDiscipleTigersFleetingToiletsHerbsPupilsAmbiguousPebblesParablesNoodlesShrubsFlax Author:Arthur Koestler
“If the Latter-day Saints will walk up to their privileges, and exercise faith in the name of Jesus Christ, and live in the enjoyment of the fullness of the Holy Ghost constantly day by day, there is nothing on the face of the earth that they could ask for, that would not be given to them. The Lord is waiting to be very gracious unto this people, and to pour out upon them riches, honor, glory, and power, even that they may possess all things according to the promises He has made through His apostles and prophets.” PeopleIfsMayMadeEarthFacesAsksJesusNamesGivenWaitingChristWalksLordHonorExerciseHolyPromiseGloryJesus ChristAll ThingsSaintPrivilegeRichesGhostEnjoymentProphetLatterFullnessApostlesGraciousHoly GhostLatter DaysLatter Day Saints Author:Brigham Young

“We give ourselves to prayer. We preach a Gospel that saves to the uttermost, and witness to its power. We do not argue about worldliness; we witness. We do not discuss philosophy; we preach the Gospel. We do not speculate about the destiny of sinners; we pluck them as brands from the burning. We ask no man's patronage. We beg no man's money. We fear no man's frownLet no man join us who is afraid, and we want none but those who are saved, sanctified and aflame with the fire of the Holy Ghost.” MenWantGivingPhilosophyAsksPrayerDestinyFireHolyArguingSavedGhostWitnessBrandsBurningSinnerHoly GhostPluckWorldlinessPatronageFear No Man Author:Samuel Chadwick
