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

Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.

What you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good.

When one first seeks the truth, one separates oneself from it.
