If you take pride in your attainment or become discouraged because of your idealistic effort, your practice will confine you by a thick wall.

When you are just you, without thinking or trying to say something special, just saying what is on your mind and how you feel, then there is naturally self-respect.

Even though you have pain in your legs, you can do it. Even though your practice is not good enough, you can do it.

Things are always changing, so nothing can be yours.

Don't move. Just die over and over. Don't anticipate. Nothing can save you now because you have only this moment. Not even enlightenment will help you now because there are no other moments. With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don't move.

Let your ears hear without trying to hear. Let the mind think without trying to think and without trying to stop it. That is practice.

Everything is perfect, but there is a lot of room for improvement.
