Do not seek the truth. Only cease to cherish opinions.
-Zen saying
Todays quote is deemed a Zen saying. Keep in mind that I have compiled a long list of quotes that stems largely from a few years of page-a-day calendars with Zen quotes which I would keep the ones I liked. So.
Where this saying comes from I could not rightly tell you. But I find it interesting. It requests that one ceases to "cherish opinions". I interpret this to mean that when we seek truth, we will inevitably encounter opinions to the nth degree. What may be truth, may not present itself as such amidst the clutter of so many opinions. And perhaps if one does stop cherishing opinions, perhaps the truth will then become evident.
