Each one of us must make his own true way, and when we do, that way will express the universal way.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few.

When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

For Zen students, a weed is a treasure.

While you are continuing this practice, week after week, year after year, your experience will become deeper and deeper, and your experience will cover everything you do in your everyday life. The most important thing is to forget all gain ing ideas, all dualistic ideas. In other words, just practice zazen in a certain posture. Do not think about anything. Just remain on your cushion without expecting anything. Then eventually you will resume your own true nature. That is to say, your own true nature resumes itself.

There is no connection between I myself yesterday and I myself in this moment

Zen is everywhere.... But for you, Zen is right here.
