Does A Dragon Still Sing From Within

In Doing Zazen It Is Desirable To Have A Quiet Room. You Should Be Temperate In Eating And Drinking, Forsaking All Delusive Relationships. Setting Everything Aside, Think Of Neither Good Nor Evil, Right Nor Wrong. Thus Having Stopped The Various Functions Of Your Mind, Five Up Even The Idea Of Becoming A Buddha.

If You Want To Travel The Way Of Buddhas And Zen Masters, Then Expect Nothing, Seek Nothing, And Grasp Nothing.

Understand Clearly That When A Great Need Appears A Great Use Appears Also; When There Is Small Need There Is Small Use; It Is Obvious, Then, That Full Use Is Made Of All Things At All Times According To The Necessity Thereof.

If You Want To See Things Just As They Are, Then You Yourself Must Practice Just As You Are.

There Are Those Who, Attracted By Grass, Flowers, Mountains, And Waters, Flow Into The Buddha Way.
