You may say that things happen just by chance, but I don't feel that way.

In the Lotus Sutra, Buddha says to light up one corner - not the whole world. Just make it clear where you are.

Tai Shimano visited Shunryu Suzuki. "How are you feeling these days?" Suzuki replied, "They have a new name for me: Cancer!"

The point we emphasize is strong confidence in our original nature.

There should not be any particular teaching. Teaching is in each moment.

Our practice should be based on the ideal of selflessness. Selflessness is very difficult to understand. If you try to be selfless, that is already a selfish idea. Selflessness will be there when you do not try anything.

The teaching which is written on paper is not the true teaching. Written teaching is a kind of food for your brain. Of course it is necessary to take some food for your brain, but it is more important to be yourself by practicing the right way of life.
