“Zazen is the dharma gate of great ease and joy.”

A Zen master's life is one continuous mistake.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.
