Nothing outside yourself can cause any trouble. You yourself make the waves in your mind. If you leave your mind as it is, it will become calm. This mind is called big mind.

When we do not expect anything we can be ourselves. That is our way, to live fully in each moment of time.

If it is raining out, do not walk fast, because it is raining everywhere.

Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.

If you think your body and mind are two, that is wrong; if you think that they are one, that is also wrong. Our body and mind are both two and one.

I discovered that it is necessary, absolutely necessary, to believe in nothing. That is, we have to believe in something which has no form and no color--something which exists before all forms and colors appear... No matter what god or doctrine you believe in, if you become attached to it, your belief will be based more or less on a self-centered idea.

As long as you seek for something, you will get the shadow of reality and not reality itself.
