"Most of the wisdom comes from sitting in zazen (quiet hard core meditation), and finding peace and enlightenment about whatever was troubling you by letting if unfold naturally from your being. Again, practice that seems to help keep us alive; I am trying to restart my meditation practice. "Taking off your shoes" means to become available, and I guess I am still trying to learn that one! "Sitting on the cushion" means to meet yourself, and "doing nothing" means to relinquish control. I want to skip to the last chapter without doing the legwork (impatience...) which is "finding the ox" or meeting the beloved. "From the moment we are born we begin searching for the beloved. In the beginning, we find it in our mother's arms. As we grow older, we turn to father, sister, brother, lovers. teachers, God....Some say that finding and losing are the rhythm of life, like day and night, winter and summer, joy and sorrow... we all find and lose the beloved many times in our lives. This is the Tao of life, the force that both brings and takes all things away.""
"This book focuses on "true love," and not what illusions or delusions we might have about what it should be. The apparent crux of the book seems to be so simple- to love others exactly as they are, and be loved exactly as we are. To accept the path of another in and out of our lives and learn the lessons that love can teach us if we look at things with a broader eye. At the end of each chapter there is even a follow-up of questions that we might ask ourselves to heighten our awareness of the nature of love. I found it to be a quite enlightening book, and only wish that it would be required reading for relationships."
