E poi da quel silenzio nasce molta creatività

E poi da quel silenzio nasce molta creatività

1. Abandon all future, e inizia a vivere momento per momento rallegrandoti delle piccole cose della vita.
2. Inizia a vivere questo momento e vedrai che più vivi, meno problemi ci sono.
3. Un buddha vive momento per momento — e se inizi a vivere momento per momento, diventi un buddha. This is the answer: live moment to moment and you become a buddha. A buddha is one who lives moment to moment, who does not live in the past, who does not live in the future, who lives here now. Buddhahood is a quality of being present here and now — and buddhahood is not a goal, you need not wait, you can become just here and now.
4. Live in the moment for the sheer joy of living it. Then each moment has the quality of an orgasm. SÌ, it is orgasmic. This is how my sannyasins have to live, with no should, with no ought, with no must, with no commandment. You are not here to be with me to become martyrs, you are here to be with me to enjoy life to its fullness. And the only way to live, amore, divertiti, is to forget the future. It exists not.
5. perché tante persone sono pronte a cadere nelle loro trappole. perché tante persone sono pronte a cadere nelle loro trappole. Busseranno alle porte dei templi ma non sapranno mai dove esiste il vero tempio. Busseranno alle porte dei templi ma non sapranno mai dove esiste il vero tempio: Busseranno alle porte dei templi ma non sapranno mai dove esiste il vero tempio. Busseranno alle porte dei templi ma non sapranno mai dove esiste il vero tempio, Busseranno alle porte dei templi ma non sapranno mai dove esiste il vero tempio, into the unknown — that is the door to the divine!
6. Those two words, “Vivi pericolosamente,” are significant. Sannyas is a way to live your life in total danger. What do I mean when I say sannyas is living dangerously? It means living moment to moment without any past. The past makes your life convenient, comfortable, because the past is known; you are familiar with it, you are very efficient with it. But life is never past, it is always present. The past is that which is no more, and life is that which is. Life is always now, qui, and all your knowledge comes from the past. Trying to live the present through the past is the way of the coward; it is the calculated way. People call it sanity, but it is very superficial and never adequate. There is no rapport with the present.
7. You are always given a single moment; you are not given two moments together. Se conosci il segreto per vivere un momento, tu conosci l'intero segreto della vita. Perché avrai sempre un momento — e sai come viverlo, come essere totalmente dentro.
8. Whenever you live in total awareness you live moment to moment. You cannot plan, even for the next moment you cannot plan — because who knows, the next moment may never come! And how can you plan it beforehand, because who knows what the situation will be in the next moment? And if you plan too much you may miss it, the freshness of it. Life is such a flux, nothing remains the same, everything moves.
9. Basta vivere il momento con intensità e totalità. Vivilo con quanta più gioia possibile, con quanto più amore possibile, with no fear, nessuna colpa. Questa esistenza è tua e questo momento è un dono — non lasciare che vada sprecato. And don’t be worried about enlightenment, the moon. This moment, vivere totalmente, is enlightenment.
10. The spontaneous man is the way to the real man, to the essential man, to the God within. You cannot decide direction, you can only live this moment that is available to you. By living it, direction arises. If you dance, the next moment is going to be of a deeper dance. Not that you decide but you simply dance this moment. You have created a direction: you are not manipulating it. The next moment will be more full of dancing, and still more will be following.
11. Live when life is there. Be committed to the earth while on the earth; die when death comes. Move with life and move with death. Moribondo, don’t cling to life. Moribondo, don’t resist death; dying, die. Vita, live; dying, die. Let the moment be total. Float with it, be committed to it. When death comes, then don’t be sad. Then accept death. Then accept it with such totality that even death cannot kill you. A total person cannot be killed, and a divided person never lives. A total person is already beyond death.
12. Non ti prometto niente. Non ti prometto il regno di Dio, Non ti prometto l'illuminazione — Non lo prometto affatto. Il mio intero approccio è di vivere momento per momento; illuminato o non illuminato, cosa importa? Vivere momento per momento con gioia, gli occhi e la pazienza infinita e la felicità, vivendo momento per momento totalmente, intensamente, appassionatamente…. Se uno vive appassionatamente, l'ego si dissolve. Se si è totali nei propri atti, l'ego è VINCOLATO a dissolversi. È come quando un ballerino continua a ballare: arriva un momento in cui rimane solo la danza e il ballerino scompare. Quello è il momento dell'illuminazione.
13. You have to learn the methods of flowing like a river with existence, ogni momento. Die each moment to the past, and be born each moment to the new. Unless that becomes your religion, you are going to be in trouble, and your society is going to be in trouble.
14. La mia visione è quella di una vita senza obiettivi. Questa è la visione di tutti i Buddha. Tutto semplicemente è, per nessuna ragione. Tutto semplicemente è assolutamente assurdo. Se questo è compreso, allora dov'è la fretta?, e per cosa? Allora inizi a vivere momento per momento. Allora questo momento ti è dato, un grazioso dono di Dio o il tutto o come vuoi chiamarlo — Tao, dhamma, loghi. Questo momento è a tua disposizione: cantare una canzone, vivila nella sua totalità. E non cercare di sacrificarlo per nessun altro momento che verrà in futuro. Vivilo per se stesso.
15. Rilassamento significa che non hai alcun dovere. Stai semplicemente vivendo momento per momento, non secondo qualche idea futura di te stesso, ma secondo la tua realtà che è qui e ora. Per vivere con la realtà, momento per momento, è essere sani di mente. Vivere con l'idea è essere pazzi. L'intera terra è diventata quasi un manicomio a causa di questi perfezionisti. Il perfezionismo è una sorta di follia; solo i matti cercano di essere perfezionisti. Le persone sane non cercano mai di essere perfezioniste.
16. La parola tathata è di grande profondità. Un uomo che capisce cosa sia tathata diventa indisturbato in ogni situazione; niente può disturbarlo, diventa imperturbabile. E TATHAGAT significa colui che ha vissuto momento per momento in tathata. Tathagat è una delle parole più belle possibili in qualsiasi lingua: uno che vive semplicemente secondo la sua natura senza preoccuparsi della natura degli altri.
17. dice Budda: Impara seduto in silenzio — diventare uno specchio. Il silenzio fa della tua coscienza uno specchio, e poi funzioni momento per momento. Rifletti la vita. Non porti un album nella tua testa. Allora i tuoi occhi sono limpidi e innocenti, hai chiarezza, hai una visione, e non sei mai falso con la vita. Questo è vivere autentico.
18. Millions live in the past, and the remaining millions live in the future, and it is very rare to find a person who lives herenow. But that is the real person, that is the person who is really alive. La vita ha bisogno solo di una cosa: radicarsi nel presente. There is nowhere else for it to be rooted. Past is memory, future is imagination; both are unreal. The real is this moment — thisness.
19. The way of living unconsciously is called by Buddha the dark way. E il modo di vivere consapevolmente, attentamente, momento per momento, portando la tua coscienza ad ogni atto, ogni piccolo atto, ogni dettaglio, is the way of light.
20. The buddha is awake even while he is asleep. He has no compartments in his being. He is not many, he is one. Because he is one and he has no clinging to memories and no desires for the future, the present is enough for him. Then he lives moment to moment in its totality; he does not go on living partially. Your dreams simply show that you live partially, and the unlived parts have to be lived in your dreams. If you live totally each moment, then there is no possibility of any dreams.
21. Just being herenow, just living moment to moment with no ideology, with no utopia. The real sannyasin, the real mystic, is not against the past, is not for the future. He is so utterly absorbed by the present that he has no time, no energy, for the past and the future. This is how the rebel is born.
22. Nessuno, not even you yourself, knows what is going to happen in the next moment. You start living moment to moment. The calculation is gone. the planning disappears, you float like a white cloud in the sky: moving but without any motivation; moving but not knowing where you are going; moving but remaining in the moment, so totally herenow that past and future make no sense, only present is meaningful.
23. Never plan for the future, because when the future will come, it will come. You just go on living each moment as totally as possible, so when the future becomes present you can live that, pure — totalmente. Don’t plan for it, because it is unpredictable. All your planning is going to be irrelevant. And once you have planned for something and it doesn’t happen, then you are frustrated. And it never happens.
24. Heaven is not somewhere else: it is a way of living. So is hell — a style of life. Hell is living unconsciously; heaven is living consciously. Hell is your own creation, so is heaven. If you go on living unconsciously, through your unconscious desires, instincts, motives — of which you are not the master but only the victim — then you create hell around yourself. But if you start living a conscious life, a life of bringing more and more light to the deep, dark corners of your being, if you start living full of light, your life is moment-to-moment ecstasy.
25. My sannyas is spontaneity, living moment to moment without any prefabricated discipline, living with the unknown, not exactly knowing where you are going. Because if you know already where you are going you are dead. Then life runs in a mechanical way. A life should be a flow from the known towards the unknown. One should be dying each moment to the known so the unknown can penetrate you. And only the unknown liberates.
26. You are nothing but your past. What are you? Just a collection of the past. Drop your past, e tu non lo sei. The ego is nothing but a collective name for your whole past; and when you don’t live in the past, you start living egolessly. Then moment to moment you go on dying to the past, you go on renouncing the past, and each moment you are fresh, giovane, vergine. And in that virginity is God.
27. There is no goal of life, for the simple reason that life is its own goal. The goal is intrinsic, not something outside; not there, far away, but herenow, in this very moment. The very idea of goal is future-oriented. The moment you start living for a goal you stop living in the present, in the immediate. The goal becomes more important. Tomorrow becomes more important, and you have to sacrifice today for tomorrow; and the trouble is, tomorrow never comes, has never come, is not going to come ever. But you go on sacrificing your today — which is your only treasure, which is all that you have got. You risk that which you have for that which is only a mind desire.
28. Life has no goal because life is its own goal. Drop all goals. Drop the very idea of future. Forget completely that there is going to be a tomorrow. Collect yourself from every dimension and direction. Be concentrated herenow, and in that single moment you will be able to know life in its eternity. Then the hunger for living, and living forever, will not be there. Tasting life in a single moment makes you aware that life is eternal. There is no need to desire it, it is already eternal.
