To Study Buddhism Is To Study Ourselves.

When Both Body And Mind Are At Peace, All Things Appear As They Are: Perfect, Complete, Lacking Nothing.

The One And Only Thing Required Is To Free Oneself From The Bondage Of Mind And Body Alike, Putting The Buddha's Own Seal Upon Yourself. If You Do This As You Sit In Ecstatic Meditation, The Whole Universe Itself Scattered Through The Infinity Of Space Turns Into Enlightenment. This Is What I Mean By The Buddha's Seal.

Zazen Is The Ultimate Practice. This Is Indeed The True Self. The Buddhadharma Is Not To Be Sought Outside Of This.

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.

I Asked, "what Are Words?" The Tenzo Said, "one, Two, Three, Four, Five." I Asked Again, "what Is Practice?" "nothing In The Entire Universe Is Hidden."
