The point we emphasize is strong confidence in our original nature.

Tai Shimano visited Shunryu Suzuki. "How are you feeling these days?" Suzuki replied, "They have a new name for me: Cancer!"

Those who sit perfectly physically usually take more time to obtain the true way of Zen.

Zazen practice and everyday activity are one thing. We call zazen everyday life, and everyday life zazen.

If you want to study Zen, you should forget all your previous ideas and just practice zazen and see what kind of experience you have in your practice. That is naturalness.

We do not slight the idea of enlightenment, but the most important thing is this moment, not some day in the future. We have to make our effort in this moment. This is the most important thing for our practice.

Each of you is perfect the way you are ... and you can use a little improvement.
