“Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself.”

A flower falls, even though we love it; and a weed grows, even though we do not love it.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.

If you want to travel the Way of Buddhas and Zen masters, then expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing.

If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.

A Zen master's life is one continuous mistake.

To study the Buddha way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
