It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It.

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.

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