Meditation: Inner Silence

 Meditation is not a way to enlightenment,
 Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all.
 It is peace itself.
 It is the actualization of wisdom,
 The ultimate truth of the oneness of all things....
                                                                                   
                                                              --Dogen Zenji

Great Philosopher and Yogi of India

"Death's grip can break our bodies, not our souls;
If death take him, I too know how to die.
Let Fate do with me what she will or can;
I am stronger than death and greater than my fate;
My love shall outlast the world, doom falls from me
Helpless against my immortality."
