Religion is not any particular teaching. Religion is everywhere.

To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him.

You want to eliminate your evil desires in order to reveal your Buddha nature, but where will you throw them away?

If you think you will get something from practicing zazen, already you are involved in impure practice.

When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

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 most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet.
