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

We ourselves cannot put any magic spells on this world. The world is its own magic.

Zazen practice is the direct expression of our true nature. Strictly speaking, for a human being, there is no other practice than this practice; there is no other way of life than this way of life.

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.

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

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.

You want to eliminate your evil desires in order to reveal your Buddha nature, but where will you throw them away?
