A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous

Do Not Think You Will Necessarily Be Aware Of Your Own Enlightenment.

In The Mundane, Nothing Is Sacred. In Sacredness, Nothing Is Mundane.

Understand Clearly That When A Great Need Appears A Great Use Appears Also; When There Is 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.

Do Not Arouse Disdainful Mind When You Prepare A Broth Of Wild Grasses; Do Not Arouse Joyful Mind When You Prepare A Fine Cream Soup.

Continuous Practice, Day After Day, Is The Most Appropriate Way Of Expressing Gratitude. This Means That You Practice Continuously, Without Wasting A Single Day Of Your Life, Without Using It For Your Own Sake. Why Is It So? Your Life Is A Fortunate Outcome Of The Continuous Practice Of The Past. You Should Express Your Gratitude Immediately.
