This beautiful moon
The Zen Master returned and found him. "You have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you should not return empty handed. Please take my clothes as a gift."
The thief was bewildered, but he took the clothes and ran away. The Master sat naked, watching the moon.
"Poor fellow," he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."
It is your love that will save you

Oração de Thomas Merton
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."
Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"© Abbey of Gethsemani

knowing fish
.
One day Chuang Tzu and a friend were walking by a river. "Look at the fish swimming about," said Chuang Tzu, "They are really enjoying themselves."
"You are not a fish," replied the friend, "So you can't truly know that they are enjoying themselves."
"You are not me," said Chuang Tzu. "So how do you know that I do not know that the fish are enjoying themselves?"
I left
You will take it, my friends.
Now for the last time, I shall survey my house.
Once more I shall view my possessions.
Upon the images of friends I shall look once more.
For the last time.
I know already That here nothing of mine remains.
Possessions and all that impeded me
Freely I am giving away.
Without them I shall be more free.
Before the One Who calls me, liberated
Now once more I shall survey the house.
View once more
Free and liberated and firm in thought.
The images of friends and the view
Of my former things
Do not confuse me. I am going.
I am hurrying.
But once more—for the last time
I shall survey all that
I left."

Os verdadeiros valores
.
Inter-relationship
"You are me, and I am you.
Isn't it obvious that we "inter-are"?
You cultivate the flower in yourself,
So that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself,
So that you will not have to suffer.
I support you; you support me.
I am in this world to offer you peace;
You are in this world to bring me joy."
