"Fellow believers, you lug your alms bag and this sack of shit that is your body and you rush off on side roads, looking for buddhas, looking for the Dharma. Right now, all this dashing and searching you're doing-do you know what it is you're looking for? It is vibrantly alive, yet has no root or stem. You can't gather it up, you can't scatter it to the winds. The more you search for it the farther away it gets. But don't search for it and it's right before your eyes, its miraculous sound always in your ears. But if you don't have faith. you'll spend your hundred years in wasted labor.
-The zen teachings of master Lin-Chi
Comment: Belief and faith, usually things talked about in religious circles.
