All the insight we will ever need to live well will come from fully being who and where we are.

In a relationship if you are giving and getting nothing back in return, stop giving so much, and spend time being. Give to yourself, be who you are.

Unless we base our sense of identity upon the truth of who we are, it is impossible to attain true happiness.

All conflict we experience in the world, is a conflict within our own selves.

Now today, moment by moment, realize that each person and event that happens is life for you. Life is not somewhere else. See how fully you can accept the life that presents itself to you now.

Do not make this practice a source of pressure, compulsion, anxiety or pride. It is none of these. Zazen is simply a way to find your true home.

Zen practice asks you not to worry about who you 'should' become. Find out who you are right now.
