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

If you cannot bow to Buddha, you cannot be a Buddha. It is arrogance.

Our way is to practice one step at a time, one breath at a time, with no gaining idea.

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.

So when you try hard to make your own way, you will help others...before you make your own way you cannot help anyone, and no one can help you.

When my master and I were walking in the rain, he would say, 'Do not walk so fast, the rain is everywhere.'

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