The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive.

The true miracle is not walking on water or walking in air, but simply walking on this earth.

The miracle is walking on the earth, not walking on water or fire. The real miracle is walking on this earth.

The seed of suffering in you may be strong, but don't wait until you have no more suffering before allowing yourself to be happy.

If while washing dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not “washing the dishes to wash the dishes.” What’s more, we are not alive during the time we are washing the dishes. In fact we are completely incapable of realizing the miracle of life while standing at the sink. If we can’t wash the dishes, the chances are we won’t be able to drink our tea either. While drinking the cup of tea, we will only be thinking of other things, barely aware of the cup in our hands. Thus we are sucked away into the future — and we are incapable of actually living one minute of life.

We should live every day like people who have just been rescued from the moon.
