Those Who Practice Know Whether Realization Is

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

Set Aside All Involvements And Let The Myriad Things Rest. Zazen Is Not Thinking Of Good, Not Thinking Of Bad. It Is Not Conscious Endeavour. It Is Not Introspection.

Be Mindful Of The Passing Of Time, And Engage Yourself In Zazen As Though You Are Saving Your Head From Fire.

Nothing In The Entire Universe Is Hidden.
