Don't want anything. Then you get everything.

Perceiving your own voice means perceiving your true self or nature. When you and the sound become one, you dont hear the sound; you are the sound.

Craziness is good. Crazy people are happy, free, they have no hindrance. But since you have many attachment, you are only a little crazy. This is not crazy enough. You must become completely crazy. Then you will understand.

Throwing away Zen mind is correct Zen mind. Only keep the question, 'What is the best way of helping other people?'

If you are thinking, you can't understand Zen. Anything that can be written in a book, anything that can be said - all this is thinking . . . but if you read with a mind that has cut off all thinking, then Zen books, sutras and Bibles are all the truth. So is the barking of a dog or the crowing of a rooster. All things are teaching you at every moment, and these sounds are even better teaching than Zen books.

Just keep clear mind, go straight ahead, try, try, try for ten thousand years.

I always try meditation. Meditation means always keeping one mind, not-moving mind.
