Eternity is the Absolute present.

To live - is that not enough?

Facts of experience are valued in Zen more than representations, symbols, and concepts-that is to say, substance is everything in Zen and form nothing.

The meaning of service is to do the work assigned ungrudgingly and without thought of personal reward material or moral.

As soon as you raise a thought and begin to form an idea of it, you ruin the reality itself, because you then attach yourself to form.

Among the most remarkable features characterizing Zen we find these: spirituality, directness of expression, disregard of form or conventionalism, and frequently an almost wanton delight in going astray from respectability.

Implicity, there should be something mysterious in every day.
