Quotes by Shinzen Young (?)

“you can dramatically extend life—not by multiplying the number of your years, but by expanding the fullness of your moments.”

“Such a Zen dialogue is basically a contest, but it’s really an anti-contest. It’s a kind of reverse or paradoxical contest. It works like this: two people talk, and the first one who speaks from the ego loses. The one who wants to win is certainly going to lose.”
― Shinzen Young, The Science of Enlightenment: How Meditation Works
