"Remembering to pay attention at all times (sati) is the formula that Buddha established. From that observation point, body, feeling, mind, and phenomena could be seen clearly. Bankei would say:
'There's nothing you need to attain. Just be aware of how your mind gets pulled away and stop going along with it. That's all.'"

"Many Western Buddhist institutions still have a dreadful track record in reaching out to help those in need, perhaps because so many members have their heads deeply inserted in their arses and confuse non-self and karma with being overgrown selfish babies.
Dharma is not a financial transaction."
