If you want to see things just as they are, then you yourself must practice just as you are.

Practice and enlightenment are not two.

That you carry yourself forward and experience the myriad things is delusion. That the myriad things come forward and experience themselves is awakening

Set aside all involvements and let the myriad things rest. Zazen is not thinking of good, not thinking of bad. It is not conscious endeavour. It is not introspection. Do not desire to become a buddha; let sitting or lying down drop away. Be moderate in eating and drinking. Be mindful of the passing of time, and engage yourself in zazen as though you are saving your head from fire.

Every man possesses the Buddha-nature. Do not demean yourselves.

Just as parents care for their children, you should bear in mind the whole universe.

Zazen is an activity that is an extension of the universe. Zazen is not the life of an individual, it's the universe that's breathing.
