When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will exist in the right place, in the right way. But usually, without being aware of it, we try to change something other than ourselves; we try to order things outside us. But it is impossible to organize things if you yourself are not in order. When you do things in the right way, at the right time, everything else will be organized.

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

From True Emptiness The Wondrous Being Appears

There are, strictly speaking, no enlightened people, there is only enlightened activity.

Moment after moment everything comes out of nothingness. This is the true joy of life.

If enlightenment comes first, before thinking, before practice, your thinking and your practice will not be self-centered. By enlightenment I mean believing in nothing, believing in something which has no form or no color, which is ready to take form or color. This enlightenment is the immutable truth. It is on this orginal truth that our activity, our thinking, and our practice should be based.

Our mind should be free from traces of the past, just like the flowers of spring.
