So for a period of time each day, try to sit, without moving, without expecting anything, as if you were in your last moment. Moment after moment you feel your last instant. In each inhalation and each exhalation there are countless instants of time. Your intention is to live in each instant.

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.

Enlightenment is not a complete remedy.

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

The secret of zen is just two words: not... always... so.

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

If I tell you something, you will stick to it and limit your own capacity to find out for yourself.
