Zen Watts

 It has been said that the highest wisdom lies in detachment. Alan Watts

If a man seeks the Buddha, that man loses the Buddha. Alan Watts

Zen has no goal; it is a traveling without point, with nowhere to go. To travel is to be alive, but to get somewhere is to be dead. Alan Watts

Zen is a liberation from time. For if we open our eyes and see clearly, it becomes obvious that there is no other time than this instant, and that the past and the future are abstractions without any concrete reality. Alan Watts

A certain amount of “sitting just to sit” might well be the best thing in the world for the jittery minds and agitated bodies. Alan Watts

Zen is a way of liberation, concerned not with discovering what is good or bad or advantageous, but what is. Alan Watts

A scholar tries to learn something everyday; a student of Buddhism tries to unlearn something daily. Alan Watts
