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

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.

Underlying great doubt there is great satori, where there is thorough questioning there will be thoroughgoing experience of awakening.

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

If you forget yourself, you become the universe.

How bright and transparent the moonlight of wisdom.

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