Do not be born good or handsome, but be born lucky.
He who loves a thing often talks of it.
Do not blame God for having created the tiger, but thank him for not having given it wings.
The fire of reeds is of rapid extinction.
You must neither strive for truth nor seek to lose your illusions.
The quieter you become, the more you can hear.
Zen is not some kind of excitement, but merely concentration on our usual everyday routine.

The fire of reeds is of rapid extinction.
The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.
Darkness reigns at the foot of the lighthouse.
