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

The teaching which is written on paper is not the true teaching. Written teaching is a kind of food for your brain. Of course it is necessary to take some food for your brain, but it is more important to be yourself by practicing the right way of life.

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.

Life without zazen is like winding your clock without setting it. It runs perfectly well, but it dosen't tell time.

When you sit, everything sits with you.

We ourselves cannot put any magic spells on this world. The world is its own magic.

To find perfect composure in the midst of change is to find nirvana.
