“If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?”

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

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

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

Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.

A Zen master's life is one continuous mistake.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water.

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

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