Prefer To Be Defeated In The Presence

You Should Study Not Only That You Become A Mother When Your Child Is Born, But Also That You Become A Child.

Truth Is Not Far Away. It Is Nearer Than Near. There Is No Need To Attain It, Since Not One Of Your Steps Leads Away From It.

Inside The Treasury Of The Dharma Eye A Single Grain Of Dust.

Set Aside All Involvements And Let The Myriad Things Rest. Zazen Is Not Thinking Of Good, Not Thinking Of Bad. It Is Not Conscious Endeavour. It Is Not Introspection. Do Not Desire To Become A Buddha; Let Sitting Or Lying Down Drop Away. Be Moderate In Eating And Drinking. Be Mindful Of The Passing Of Time, And Engage Yourself In Zazen As Though You Are Saving Your Head From Fire.

Studying The Buddha Way Is Studying Oneself. Studying Oneself Is Forgetting Oneself. Forgetting Oneself Is Being Enlightened By All Things. Being Enlightened By All Things Is To Shed The Body-mind Of Oneself, And Those Of Others. No Trace Of Enlightenment Remains, And This Traceless Enlightenment Continues Endlessly.
