Practice and enlightenment are not two.

Zazen is an activity that is an extension of the universe. Zazen is not the life of an individual, it's the universe that's breathing.

What is reality? An icicle forming in fire.

What is the way of the Buddha? It is to study the self. What is the study of the self? It is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is to enlightened by everything in the world.

Truth is not far away. It is nearer than near. There is no need to attain it, since not one of your steps leads away from it.

There are those who, attracted by grass, flowers, mountains, and waters, flow into the Buddha Way.

Consider that nirvana is itself no other than our life.
