May all beings learn how to nourish themselves with joy each day.

If we have fear and despair in us, we cannot remove the suffering in society.

There is a story in Zen circles about a man and a horse. The horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. Another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «Where are you going?» and the first man replies, «I don't know! Ask the horse!» This is also our story. We are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. The horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

"I am breathing in and liberating my mind. I am breathing out and liberating my mind." One practices like this.

Nirvana is the complete silencing of concepts.

Freedom is the basic condition for you to touch life, to touch the blue sky, the trees, the birds, the tea, and the other person.

Listening to and understanding our inner sufferings will resolve most of the problems we encounter.
