completely absorbed in your breathing

suzuki roshi

 

When you are completely

absorbed in your breathing, there is no self.

What is your breathing? That breathing is not you, nor air.

What is it? It is not self at all. When there is no self,

you have absolute freedom. Because you have

a silly idea of self, you have

a lot of problems.
