Preparing food is not just about yourself and others. It is about everything!

Discipline is creating the situation.

The mind we have when we practice zazen is the great mind: we don't try to see anything; we stop conceptual thinking; we stop emotional activity; we just sit. Whatever happens to us, we are not bothered. We just sit. It is like something happening in the great sky. Whatever kind of bird flies through it, the sky doesn't care. That is the mind transmitted from Buddha to us.

If you want to read a letter from the Buddha's world, it is necessary to understand Buddha's world.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.

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

Hell is not punishment, it's training.
