Meditation Is Not A Way To Enlightenment,

A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous Mistake.

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.

Since It Is The Practice Of Enlightenment, That Practice Has No Beginning And Since It Is Enlightenment Within The Practice, That Realization Has No End.

Those Who Practice Know Whether Realization Is Attained Or Not, Just As Those Who Drink Water Know Whether It Is Hot Or Cold

Coming, Going, The Waterbirds, Don't Leave A Trace, Don't Follow A Path.
