D.T. Suzuki Quotes About Eyes

Quotes about: Eyes

• We have two eyes to see two sides of things, but there must be a third eye which will see everything at the same time and yet not see anything. That is to understand Zen.

  Eye, Two Sides, Thirds

• Zen purposes to discipline the mind itself, to make it its own master, through an insight into its proper nature. This getting into the real nature of one's own mind or soul is the fundamental object of Zen Buddhism. Zen, therefore, is more than meditation and Dhyana in its ordinary sense. The discipline of Zen consists in opening the mental eye in order to look into the very reason of existence.

  Nature, Real, Eye

  D.T. Suzuki (2007). “An Introduction to Zen Buddhism”, p.30, Grove/Atlantic, Inc.

• Zen opens a man's eyes to the greatest mystery as it is daily and hourly performed; it enlarges the heart to embrace eternity of time and infinity of space in its every palpitation; it makes us live in the world as if walking in the garden of Eden
