The best way to control people is to encourage them to be mischievous.

When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will exist in the right place, in the right way.

To give your sheep or cow a large, spacious meadow is the way to control him.

But the way of practice is just to be concentrated on your breathing with the right posture and with great, pure effort.

Actually the best way to relieve your mental suffering is to sit in zazen, even in such a confused state of mind and bad posture.

The goal of our life’s effort is to reach the other shore, Nirvana. Prajna paramita, the true wisdom of life, is that in each step of the way, the other shore is actually reached.

There is no particular way in true practice. You should find your own way, and you should know what kind of practice you have right now.

Our way is not to sit to acquire something; it is to express our true nature. That is our practice.

In Hinayana Buddhism, practice is classified in four ways. The best way is just to do it without having any joy in it, not even spiritual joy. This way is just to do it, forgetting your physical and mental feeling, forgetting all about yourself in your practice.
