All that's visible springs from causes intimate to you. While walking, sitting, lying down, the body itself is complete truth. If someone asks the inner meaning of this: "Inside the treasury of dharma eye a single grain of dust."

To what shall I liken the world? Moonlight, reflected in dewdrops. Shaken from a crane's bill.

Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma see no Dharma in everyday actions. They have not yet discovered that there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and great, The moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

I come to realize that mind is no other than mountains and rivers and the great wide earth, the sun and the moon and stars.

In autumn even though I may see it again, how can I sleep with the moon this evening?

Refraining from all evil, not clinging to birth and death, working in deep compassion for all sentient beings, respecting those over you and pitying those below you, without any detesting or desiring, worrying or lamentation - this is what is called Buddha. Do not search beyond it.

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

You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.

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

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

Understand clearly that when a great need appears a great use appears also; when there is a small need there is small use; it is obvious, then, that full use is made of all things at all times according to the necessity thereof.

When we discover that the truth is already in us, we are all at once our original selves.

It is present everywhere. There is nothing it does not contain. However only those who have previously planted wisdom - seeds will be able to continuously see it.

Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.
