The way
to study true zen
is not verbal. Just open
yourself and give up everything.
Whatever happens, study closely
and see what you find out.
This is the fundamental
attitude.

the myriad things and I are one
The universe
and I are of the same root.
The myriad things and I are
one body. That is
zazen.
Kodo Sawaki Roshi
think about these three points
Body impermanent like spring mist;
Mind insubstantial like empty sky;
Thoughts unestablished like breezes in space.
Think about these three points over and over.
the struggle with this enemy
While the unawakened soul
thinks that it is his neighbor or his relation
who is his enemy, the awakened soul says, ‘It is my self;
my ignorant ego is my enemy; and it is the struggle
with this enemy that will bring me light and
raise me from the denseness
of the earth.’

the soft overcomes the hard
The soft
overcomes the hard in the
world as a gentle rider controls
a galloping horse. That without
substance can penetrate where
there is no space. By these I
know the benefit of
non-action.
Teaching
without words,
working without effort —
nothing in the world
can compare with
them.
