Peace

Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha...Using the mind to look for reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation. -Bodhidharma

Just this is the path--there is no other--to purify vision. Follow it, and that will be Mara's bewilderment. Following it, you put an end to suffering & stress. I have taught you this path for knowing the extraction of arrows. -Dhammapada, 20, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
