Even though you have pain in your legs, you can do it. Even though your practice is not good enough, you can do it.

Everything you do is right, nothing you do is wrong, yet you must still make ceaseless effort.

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

If enlightenment comes first, before thinking, before practice, your thinking and your practice will not be self-centered. By enlightenment I mean believing in nothing, believing in something which has no form or no color, which is ready to take form or color. This enlightenment is the immutable truth. It is on this orginal truth that our activity, our thinking, and our practice should be based.

A garden is never finished.

Discipline is creating the situation.

When you accept everything, everything is beyond dimensions. The earth is not great nor a grain of sand small. In the realm of Great Activity picking up a grain of sand is the same as taking up the whole universe. To save one sentient being is to save all sentient beings. Your efforts of this moment to save one person is the same as the eternal merit of Buddha.
