Daily Buddhist Wisdom  
  
"If you think, I breathe, the I is extra. There is no you to say I. What we call I is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale. It just moves; that is all. When your mind is pure and calm enough to follow this movement, there is nothing: no I, no world, no mind nor body; just a swinging door."

~Shunryu Suzuki, "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind"
