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

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.

We do not slight the idea of enlightenment, but the most important thing is this moment, not some day in the future. We have to make our effort in this moment. This is the most important thing for our practice.

If you can just appreciate each thing, one by one, then you will have pure gratitude. Even though you observe just one flower, that one flower includes everything

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an enlightened person. There is only enlightened activity.

Faith is a state of openness or trust...In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe, becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to the truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

We die, and we do not die.
