What is this true meditation? It is to make everything: coughing, swallowing, waving the arms, motion, stillness, words, action, the evil and the good, prosperity and shame, gain and loss, right and wrong, into one single koan.

Meditation in action is endlessly more important than meditation in stillness.

Contemplation within activity is a million times better than contemplation within stillness.

Not knowing how near the truth is, we seek it far away.

Should you desire the great tranquility prepare to sweat white beads.

At this moment, is there anything lacking? Nirvana is right here now before our eyes. This place is the lotus land. This body now is the Buddha.

How bright and transparent the moonlight of wisdom.
