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

There is no beginning to practice nor end to enlightenment; There is no beginning to enlightenment nor end to practice.

Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.

We must always be disturbed by the truth.

Let your heart go out and abide in things. Let things return and abide in your heart.

An ancient buddha said, “Mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” These words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.

One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.
