Moment after moment everything comes out of nothingness. This is the true joy of life.
Shunryu SuzukiThe more you practice zazen, the more you will be able to accept something as your own, whatever it is.
Shunryu SuzukiIn Japan we have the phrase, "Shoshin," which means "beginner's mind." Our "original mind" includes everything within itself. It is always rich and sufficient within itself. This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything. It is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few.
