I am an artist at living - my work of art is my life.

Zen has no business with ideas.

To Zen, time and eternity are one.

One has not understood until one has forgotten it.

If you have attained something, this is the surest proof that you have gone astray. Therefore, not to have is to have, silence is thunder, ignorance is enlightenment.

Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious.

Unless we agree to suffer we cannot be free from suffering.
