From True Emptiness The Wondrous Being Appears

Nothing we see or hear is perfect. But right there in the imperfection is perfect reality.

The point we emphasize is strong confidence in our original nature.

What we call "I" is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale.

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it....In this way our life should be understood. Then there is no problem.

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.

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