The true practice to meditation is to sit as if you where drinking water when you are thirsty.

In your big mind, everything has the same value...In your practice you should accept everything as it is, giving to each thing the same respect given to a Buddha. Here there is Buddhahood

A garden is never finished.

There are, strictly speaking, no enlightened people, there is only enlightened activity.

Discipline is creating the situation.

Someone was sitting in front of a sunflower, watching the sunflower, a cup of sun, and so I tried it too. It was wonderful; I felt the whole universe in the sunflower. That was my experience. Sunflower meditation. A wonderful confidence appeared. You can see the whole universe in a flower.

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