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.

In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities. In the mind of the expert there are few.

Let your ears hear without trying to hear. Let the mind think without trying to think and without trying to stop it. That is practice.

In your big mind, everything has the same value...In your practice you should accept everything as it is, giving to each thing the same respect given to a Buddha. Here there is Buddhahood

Zen is not some kind of excitement, but concentration on our usual everyday routine.

We have to study with our warm heart, not just with our brain.

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything.
