Daily Zen - Wednesday, August 14

Do not desire 

to be a buddha.

~ Dögen

Daily Zen - Friday, November 10

Each moment is all being, 

each moment is the entire world.

Reflect now whether any being or any

world is left out of the present moment.

~ Dögen 

Weekend Zen, July 8-9

No matter how bad a state

of mind you may get into,

if you keep strong and hold

out, eventually the floating

clouds must vanish and the

withering wind must cease.

~ Dögen

Weekend Zen, March 4-5

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.

~ Dögen

Daily Zen - Friday, April 23

If you want to travel 

the way of Buddhas 

and Zen masters,

then expect nothing, 

seek nothing, 

and grasp nothing.

~ Dögen
