• Early morning, the orange sun is slowly rising, shining forth in empty luminous clarity. The mind and the sky are one, the sun is rising in the vast space of primordial awareness, and there is just this. Yasutani Roshi once said, speaking of satori, that it was the most precious realization in the world, because all the great philosophers had tried to understand ultimate reality but had failed to do so, yet with satori or awakening all of your deepest questions are finally answered: it's just this.

• I want to take you to a place of pure magic... It's the place athletes call the "zone". Buddhists call "satori" and ravers call "trance". I call it the Silver Desert. It's a place of pure light that holds the dark within it. It's a place of pure rhythm.

• El satori es un breve destello. De repente irrumpe la luz. Durante un breve tiempo intemporal experimentamos la eternidad en su forma no manifestada. Es comparable al salvikalpa samadhi.

• Puedes llamarlo tathata, talidad. Talidad" es una forma budista de expresar que hay algo en ti que siempre permanece en su naturaleza intrínseca, sin cambiar nunca. Siempre permanece en su misma esencia, eternamente. Esa es tu verdadera naturaleza. Lo que cambia no eres tú, es la mente. Lo que no cambia en ti es la mente de Buda. Puedes llamarlo no-mente, puedes llamarlo samadhi, satori. Depende de ti; puedes darle el nombre que quieras. Puedes llamarlo conciencia de Cristo.

• La vida está llena de decisiones difíciles, y nada las hace fáciles. Pero las peores son en realidad tus koanes personales, y la atormentadora ambivalencia no es más que la sensación de que el satori está surgiendo. Prueba, confía, prueba y vuelve a confiar, y al final sentirás que tu mente cambia su enfoque hacia un nuevo nivel de comprensión.

  Martha Beck

• Essentially Satori is a sudden experience, and it is often described as a "turning over" of the mind, just as a pair of scales will suddenly turn over when a sufficient amount of material has been poured into one pan to overbalance the weight in the other. Hence it is an experience which generally occurs after a long and concentrated effort to discover the meaning of Zen.

• If I'm still wistful about On the Road, I look on the rest of the Kerouac oeuvre--the poems, the poems!--in horror. Read Satori in Paris lately? But if I had never read Jack Kerouac's horrendous poems, I never would have had the guts to write horrendous poems myself. I never would have signed up for Mrs. Safford's poetry class the spring of junior year, which led me to poetry readings, which introduced me to bad red wine, and after that it's all just one big blurry condemned path to journalism and San Francisco.

• All that the posture of skepticism accomplishes is to freeze the ego in an ignorantist poverty that never stretches or diversifies its resources of imagination or understanding. Any uncultured cretin can close his eyes and try to reduce the issues down to linear simplisms and say, "I am doubting, I am proving my magisterial or sovereign control over my own mind." Doubt is a useful and significant test of one's critical powers, but by itself it bears little if any significant cultural charge of enlightenment or satori; indeed it is the very opposite kind of thing.
