“Bet koks veiksmas yra geriau negu neveikimas, ypač jei ilgą laiką esate įstrigę nepalankioje situacijoje. Net jei suklystate, tai bent kažko išmokstate ir pagaliau klaidą ištaisote. Jei nieko nedarote, tai nieko ir neišmokstate. Gal imtis kokių nors veiksmų jums trukdo baimė? Suvokite tą baimę, stebėkite ją, sutelkite į ją savo dėmesį, būkite su ja. Kai taip elgiatės, nutraukiate ryšį tarp baimės ir savo minčių. Neleiskite, kad jūsų prote kiltų baimė. Pasikliaukite šios akimirkos jėga. Baimė jos neįveikia.”

“When we discover Zen practice, we may hold out a hope that it is going to solve our problems and make our life perfect. But Zen practice simply returns us to life as it is. Being our lives more and more is what Zen practice is about. Our lives are simply what they are, and Zen helps us to recognize that fact. The thought "If I do this practice patiently enough, everything will be different" is simply another belief system, another version of the promise that is never kept.”

“Practice is about moving from the first to the second viewpoint. There is a pitfall inherent in practice, however: if we practice well, many of the demands of the first viewpoint may be satisfied. We are likely to feel better, to be more comfortable. We may feel more at ease with ourselves. Because we're not punishing our bodies with as much tension, we tend to be healthier. These changes can confirm in us the misconception that the first viewpoint is correct: that practice is about making life better for ourselves. In fact, the benefits to ourselves are incidental. The real point of practice is to serve life as fully and fruitfully as we can. And that's very hard for us to understand: "You mean that I should take care of someone who has just been cruel to me? That's crazy!" "You mean that I have to give up my own convenience to serve someone who doesn't even like me?”

“The world exists because your mind exists. If your mind didn’t exist, there would be no world. As you look at these words, you see them in what appears to be a reality outside of you. What you are really seeing is the image that your mind is creating from the electrical signals being sent to your brain. While they may appear to be outside of you, this is an illusion, they exist within your own mind, and are being projected to appear as if they are outside of you. This apparent reality that is projected by our minds, is maya, and to believe that maya is the ultimate reality is a result of ignorance, or avidya in Sanskrit.”
