Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable.
Be joyful though you have considered
all the facts. So long as women do
not go cheap for power, please
women more than
men.

what I meant is things as it is
One day while
editing a transcription of
Suzuki Roshi’s first lecture on the Sandokai,
I came upon the phrase “things as it is.” I asked him
if perhaps he had not meant to say “things
as they are,” which I thought to be
proper syntax.
“No,” he said,
“what I meant is ‘things
as it is.'”
To Shine One Corner of the World
die without sorrow or regret
Even if, bright as
a flash of lightning, death
were to strike you today, be prepared
to die without sorrow or regret, giving up
attachment to what you are leaving behind.
Without ever ceasing to recognize
the authentic view of the real,
leave this life like the eagle
that soars into the
blue sky.
this is it
you’re bound to become a buddha
You’re bound to
become a buddha if you practice.
If water drips long enough, even rocks wear through.
It’s not true thick skulls can’t be pierced;
people just imagine their
minds are hard.
