To Be In Harmony With The Wholeness

The Zazen I Speak Of Is Not Learning Meditation. It Is Simply The Dharma Gate Of Repose And Bliss, The Practice-realization Of Totally Culminated Enlightenment. It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It. Once Its Heart Is Grasped, You Are Like The Dragon When He Gains The Water, Like The Tiger When She Enters The Mountain. For You Must Know That Just There (in Zazen) The Right Dharma Is Manifesting Itself And That, From The First, Dullness And Distraction Are Struck Aside.

Just As Parents Care For Their Children, You Should Bear In Mind The Whole Universe.

I Asked, "what Are Words?" The Tenzo Said, "one, Two, Three, Four, Five." I Asked Again, "what Is Practice?" "nothing In The Entire Universe Is Hidden."

Although Its Light Is Wide And Great, The Moon Is Reflected In A Puddle One Inch Wide. The Whole Moon And The Entire Sky Is Reflected In One Dew Drop On The Grass.

We Must Always Be Disturbed By The Truth.
