Zen Funeral Rites

Famous quotes containing the words zen, funeral and/or rites:

    Zen ... does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
    Alan Watts (1915–1973)

    Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note,
    As his corse to the rampart we hurried;
    Charles Wolfe (1791–1823)

    All things are lawful there that may delight
    Nature or unrestrained appetite.
    Like and enjoy, to will and act is one;
    We only sin when love’s rites are not done.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
