One morning in the zendo
as we were all silently sitting zazen,
Suzuki Roshi said, “Don’t move. Just die over
and over. Don’t anticipate. Nothing can save you
now, because this is your last moment. Not even
enlightenment will help you now, because
you have no other moments. With no
future, be true to yourself —
and don’t move.”
