Each of you is perfect the way you are ... and you can use a little improvement.

You should rather be grateful for the weeds you have in your mind, because eventually they will enrich your practice.

In your everyday life you always have opportunities for enlightenment. If you go to the rest room, there is a chance to attain enlightenment. When you cook, there is a chance to attain enlightenment. When you clean the floor, there is a chance to attain enlightenment.

To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him.

No teaching could be more direct than just to sit down.

I think you're all enlightened, until you open your mouths.

Faith is a state of openness or trust...In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to the truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
