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.

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

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

Mountains and rivers at this very moment are the actualization of the world of the ancient Buddhas. Each, abiding in its phenomenal expression, realizes completeness.

Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.

Every man possesses the Buddha-nature. Do not demean yourselves.

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