Our tendency is to be interested in something that is growing in the garden, not in the bare soil itself. But if you want to have a good harvest, the most important thing is to make the soil rich and cultivate it well.

Let your ears hear without trying to hear. Let the mind think without trying to think and without trying to stop it. That is practice.

Even if the sun were to rise from the west, the Bodhisattva has only one way.

Wherever you go you will find your teacher, as long as you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

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

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.

A garden is never finished.
