People Who Truly Follow The Way Would

The Zazen I Speak Of Is Not Learning Meditation. It Is Simply The Dharma Gate Of Repose And Bliss, The Practice-realization Of Totally Culminated Enlightenment. It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It. Once Its Heart Is Grasped, You Are Like The Dragon When He Gains The Water, Like The Tiger When She Enters The Mountain. For You Must Know That Just There (in Zazen) The Right Dharma Is Manifesting Itself And That, From The First, Dullness And Distraction Are Struck Aside.

When The Old Plum Tree Blooms, The Entire World Blooms.

Those Who Seek The Easy Way Do Not Seek The True Way.

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

There Is A Simple Way To Become Buddha: When You Refrain From Unwholesome Actions, Are Not Attached To Birth And Death, And Are Compassionate Toward All Sentient Beings, Respectful To Seniors And Kind To Juniors, Not Excluding Or Desiring Anything, With No Designing Thoughts Or Worries, You Will Be Called A Buddha. Do Not Seek Anything Else.
