To express yourself as you are, without any intentional, fancy way of adjusting yourself, is the most important thing.

When you are fooled by something else, the damage will not be so big. But when you are fooled by yourself, it is fatal. No more medicine.

If you were not born in this world, there would be no need to die. To be born in this world is to die, to disappear [laughing].

When you live completely in each moment, without expecting anything, you have no idea of time.

We do not exist for the sake of something else. We exist for the sake of ourselves.

The secret of zen is just two words: not... always... so.

To find perfect composure in the midst of change is to find nirvana.
