Do Not Practice Buddha-dharma With The Thought

Do Not Think You Will Necessarily Be Aware Of Your Own Enlightenment.

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

What You Think In Your Own Mind To Be Good, Or What People Of The World Think Is Good, Is Not Necessarily Good.

In Doing Zazen It Is Desirable To Have A Quiet Room. You Should Be Temperate In Eating And Drinking, Forsaking All Delusive Relationships. Setting Everything Aside, Think Of Neither Good Nor Evil, Right Nor Wrong. Thus Having Stopped The Various Functions Of Your Mind, Five Up Even The Idea Of Becoming A Buddha.

Though It Has No Thought Of Keeping Watch, It's Not For Naught That The Scarecrow Stands In The Grain Field.
