“The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.” IfsMindRealWisdomBodyFormCausesUnderstandingSpaceBreakEffectsOriginalsBonesYour BodyCharacteristicsAtomsNihilist Book:The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma Source: The Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma
“The physical universe was created when Oneness became duality, and we can see this duality, this yin and yang, everywhere in the universe, in every atom, every action, and in every function of the human body. Yin and yang are manifest everywhere, except at the very center of being, the perfect point of balance, at that infinite moment where the future becomes the past.” HumansMomentsBodyActionPastSpiritualUniversePerfectBalanceFunctionInfiniteOnenessManifestAtomsHuman BodyDualityYangYin And Yang Author:Robert Tisserand
“Our planet consists largely of lumps of fall-out from a star-sized hydrogen bomb.

“Either all things proceed from one intelligent source and come together as in one body, and the part ought not to find fault with what is done for the benefit of the whole; or there are only atoms, and nothing else than a mixture and dispersion.

“Minds vary in sensitiveness and in self-power, as bodies do in susceptibility of attraction and repulsion.

“Nancy According to astronomers, every atom in my body was forged in a star. I am made, they insist, of stardust. I am stardust braided into strands and streamers of information, proteins and DNA, double helixes of stardust. In every cell of my body there is a thread of stardust as long as my arm.” LongMadeBodyStarsInformationArmsCellsAtomsThreadDnaProteinStrandsStardustAstronomersForgedNancy Author:Chet Raymo
