The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

Consider that nirvana is itself no other than our life.

What is reality? An icicle forming in fire.

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

If we seek the Buddha outside the mind, the Buddha changes into a devil.

Continuous practice, day after day, is the most appropriate way of expressing gratitude. This means that you practice continuously, without wasting a single day of your life, without using it for your own sake. Why is it so? Your life is a fortunate outcome of the continuous practice of the past. You should express your gratitude immediately.

The one and only thing required is to free oneself from the bondage of mind and body alike, putting the Buddha's own seal upon yourself. If you do this as you sit in ecstatic meditation, the whole universe itself scattered through the infinity of space turns into enlightenment. This is what I mean by the Buddha's seal.
