The only time and place to find enlightenment is in this moment. No need to check your watch. The time is now.

Do not analyze things to death. Sometimes the best strategy is, "Ready, fire, aim." Do it first , then make adjustments. The answer lies in action-not in words.

Zen teaches that our approach to today determines our whole approach to life.

All things reflect the divine energy of nature—every flower, every rock, every sound, every sight. Once we realize that truth, we cannot help but smile.
