Zen

When the mind is at peace, why bother observing precepts? When one's conduct is upright, why practice Zen?

Kindness means caring for one's parents, and righteousness means showing compassion between those above and below.

Yielding brings harmony between high and low, while patience silences all strife.

If you can make fire by drilling wood, a red lotus will surely bloom in the mud.

Correcting one's faults brings wisdom; covering them up is unworthy of a virtuous person.

Do good deeds in your everyday life. Enlightenment does not come from giving money.

Seek Bodhi only within your heart. Why seek mysteries outside yourself?

They say that if you practice this way, heaven is right before your eyes. (Become a Buddha in an Instant: The Verse of No Mark)
