In reflecting on our problems, we should include ourselves.
There should not be any particular teaching. Teaching is in each moment.
Hell is not punishment, it's training.
There will always be war, but we must always work to oppose it.
The mind of the beginner is empty, free of the habits of the experts, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all possibilities.
The true purpose of Zen is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes. Zen practice is to open up our small mind.
