A zen master's life is one continuous mistake.

To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things.

Although its light is wide and great, the Moon is reflected in a puddle one inch wide. The whole Moon and the entire sky is reflected in one dew drop on the grass.

To start from the self and try to understand all things is delusion. To let the self be awakened by all things is enlightenment.

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.

I haven't got any Buddhism. I live by letting things happen.

But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.
