To study Buddhism is to study ourselves. To study ourselves is to forget ourselves.

Do not miss the opportunity of offering even a single drop into the ocean of merit or a grain atop the mountain of the roots of beneficial activity.

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.

Students today should live fully every moment of time. This dew-like life fades away; time speeds swiftly. In this short life of ours, avoid involvement in superfluous things and just study the Way.

Do not practice buddha-dharma with the thought that it is to benefit others.

When we discover that the truth is already in us, we are all at once our original selves.

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