When something dies is the greatest teaching.

The true practice to meditation is to sit as if you where drinking water when you are thirsty.

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything.

Wherever you go you will find your teacher, as long as you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

You must be true to your own way until at last you actually come to the point where you see it is necessary to forget all about yourself.

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

Life without zazen is like winding your clock without setting it. It runs perfectly well, but it dosen't tell time.
