Quotes about Studying

Study is to study what cannot be studied. Undertaking means undertaking what cannot be undertaken. Philosophizing is to philosophize about what cannot be philosophized about. Knowing that knowing is unknowable is true perfection.

Chuang Chou, a.k.a. Chuang Tzu, Chuang Tse Chuang : Chinese philosopher, major thinker in Taoism
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Quote

Studying the Buddha way is studying oneself.
Studying oneself is forgetting oneself.
Forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things.
Being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others.
No trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment
continues endlessly.
