Discipline is creating the situation.

You can't make a date with enlightenment.

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

It must be obvious...that there is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity.

As soon as you see something, you already start to intellectualize it. As soon as you intellectualize something, it is no longer what you saw.

After you have practiced for a while, you will realize that it is not possible to make rapid, extraordinary progress. Even though you try very hard, the progress you make is always little by little.

Religion is not any particular teaching. Religion is everywhere.
