The way of Zen is to become independent and strong. Don't rely on others for perceptions of life and truth. Do it individually. Go to a teacher of Zen to learn how to do that, not to get answers for individual life situations.

Stop trying to figure it all. Why worry about it all so much? Why not just live? And then you die. And then you live again, unless, of course, you follow me.

In sanskrit they say: "Tat twam asi" - thou art that. You are God. The bubble of your awareness bursts and you're flooded with immortality.

If you attain liberation do not feel that it matters or it is important. You had nothing to do with it. If you are bound by ignorance do not feel bad. You had nothing to do with it.

Tantra is for a person who has reached a point in their spiritual evolution where everything looks the same.

Our knowledge, experience, and wisdom can assist us in gaining more from this life, which will correctly set up our next life.

Bodies come and go, ages come and go, yugas come and go, eternities come and go. Selves come and go.
