Quotes
- “Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace don't follow a path.”
- “But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.”
- “As I study both the exoteric and the esoteric schools of Buddhism, they maintain that human beings are endowed with Dharma-nature by birth. If this is the case, why did the Buddhas of all ages — undoubtedly in possession of enlightenment — find it necessary to seek enlightenment and engage in spiritual practice?”
- “The primordial Buddhas are saying,”
- “It is only due to a lack of heart for the Way and a lack of skill in handling their daily conduct that people become vainly tied to fame and gain.”
- “Zazen is the ultimate practice. This is indeed the True Self. The Buddhadharma is not to be sought outside of this.”
