“Enlightenment is intimacy with all things.”

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

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find 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.

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?

A Zen master's life is one continuous mistake.

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