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

Life without zazen is like winding your clock without setting it. It runs perfectly well, but it dosen't tell time.

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.

There is no formula for generating the authentic warmth of love...Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and frustration of trying to love himself. This conviction will not come through condemnations, through hating oneself, through calling self-love bad names in the universe. It comes only in the awareness that one has no self to love.

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.

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.

When you try to understand everything, you will not understand anything. The best way is to understand yourself, and then you will understand everything.
