When you do something, if you fix your mind on the activity with some confidence, the quality of your state of mind is the activity itself. When you are concentrated on the quality of your being, you are prepared for the activity.

Without ignoring the objective side of the truth, it has to be subjective as well, Buddha's whole teaching just for you, something you can taste. Not something to believe in but to discover, to experience.

When my master and I were walking in the rain, he would say, 'Do not walk so fast, the rain is everywhere.'

Don't move. Just die over and over. Don't anticipate. Nothing can save you now because you have only this moment. Not even enlightenment will help you now because there are no other moments. With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don't move.

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.

Big mind is something to express, not something to figure out. Big mind is something you have, not something to seek for.

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