Consider That Nirvana Is Itself No Other

Set Aside All Involvements And Let The Myriad Things Rest. Zazen Is Not Thinking Of Good, Not Thinking Of Bad. It Is Not Conscious Endeavour. It Is Not Introspection. Do Not Desire To Become A Buddha; Let Sitting Or Lying Down Drop Away. Be Moderate In Eating And Drinking. Be Mindful Of The Passing Of Time, And Engage Yourself In Zazen As Though You Are Saving Your Head From Fire.

To Study Buddhism Is To Study Ourselves. To Study Ourselves Is To Forget Ourselves.

To Study The Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self.

Truth Is Not Far Away. It Is Nearer Than Near. There Is No Need To Attain It, Since Not One Of Your Steps Leads Away From It.

Prefer To Be Defeated In The Presence Of The Wise Than To Excel Among Fools.
