How boring to
sit idly on the floor, not meditating,
not breaking through. Look at the horses
racing along the Kamo River!
That’s zazen!

a treasure hidden inside
this magnificent heart, born on this day
Do not go
about worshipping
deities and religious institutions
as the source of the subtle truth.
To do so is to place intermediaries
between yourself and the divine,
and to make of yourself a beggar
who looks outside for a treasure
that is hidden inside his
own breast.
If you want to worship the tao,
first discover it in your own heart.
Then your worship will
be meaningful.

the minds of enlightened people
When the wind
comes to sparse bamboo,
the bamboo doesn’t keep the sound
after the wind has passed. When geese cross
a cold pond, the pond doesn’t retain their reflection
after the geese have gone. Similarly, the minds of
enlightened people become manifest when
events occur and then become
empty when the events
are over.
without attachment to anything
There
is nothing that
is impure, nothing in need of
elimination, no place to go, not a thing to
obtain. Shed the duality that you are a seeker
in search of some attainment. Just be
as you are, without attachment
to anything, anyone,
any state, any
ideal.

stay centered in the tao
Stay
centered in the tao
and the world comes to you:
comes, and isn’t harmed;
comes, and finds
contentment.
Most
travelers are drawn
to music and good food.
When tao is talked about, the words
can seem bland and flavorless. Looked at,
it may not catch the eye. Listened to,
it might not seduce the ear.
Used, it can never be
exhausted.
