Yet, Though It Is Like This, Simply,

Sitting Is The Gateway Of Truth To Total Liberation.

Consider That Nirvana Is Itself No Other Than Our Life.

There Is No Beginning To Practice Nor End To Enlightenment; There Is No Beginning To Enlightenment Nor End To Practice.

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. Do Not Desire To Become A Buddha; Let Sitting Or Lying Down Drop Away. Be Moderate In Eating And Drinking. Be Mindful Of The Passing Of Time, And Engage Yourself In Zazen As Though You Are Saving Your Head From Fire.

Zazen Is An Activity That Is An Extension Of The Universe. Zazen Is Not The Life Of An Individual, It's The Universe That's Breathing.
