For Zen students, a weed is a treasure.

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

When you understand one thing through and through, you understand everything.

An enlightened person does not ignore things and does not stick to things, not even to the truth.

We die, and we do not die.

When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will exist in the right place, in the right way. But usually, without being aware of it, we try to change something other than ourselves; we try to order things outside us. But it is impossible to organize things if you yourself are not in order. When you do things in the right way, at the right time, everything else will be organized.
