Gain is delusion; loss is enlightenment.

We stop the one who can't cease from seeking things outside, and practice with our bodies with a posture that seeks absolutely nothing. This is zazen.

No matter how many years you sit doing zazen, you will never become anything special.

Live the Self that fills the whole Universe.

Religion means living your own life, completely fresh and new, without being taken in by anyone.

Heaven and Earth give themselves. Air, water, plants, animals, and humans give themselves to each other. It is in this giving-themselves-to-each-other that we actually live. Whether you appreciate it or not, it is true.

You don’t seek the way. The way seeks you.
