Those Who Practice Know Whether Realization Is

That The Self Advances And Confirms The Ten Thousand Things Is Called Delusion; That The Ten Thousand Things Advance And Confirm The Self Is Called Enlightenment.

Every Man Possesses The Buddha-nature. Do Not Demean Yourselves.

Time Is Three Eyes And Eight Elbows.

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.

Prefer To Be Defeated In The Presence Of The Wise Than To Excel Among Fools.
