Sitting is the gateway of truth to total liberation.

People like what is not true and they don't like what is true.

You should stop searching for phrases and chasing after words. Take the backward step and turn the light inward. Your body-mind of itself will drop off and your original face will appear. If you want to attain just this, immediately practice just this.

I asked, "What are words?" The tenzo said, "One, two, three, four, five." I asked again, "What is practice?" "Nothing in the entire universe is hidden."

Meditation is not a way to enlightenment, Nor is it a method of achieving anything at all. It is peace itself. It is the actualization of wisdom, The ultimate truth of the oneness of all things.

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

Emptiness is bound to bloom, like hundreds of grasses blossoming.
