In The Stream, Rushing Past

Just As Parents Care For Their Children, You Should Bear In Mind The Whole Universe.

Why Abandon A Seat In Your Own Home To Wander In Vain Through Dusty Regions Of Another Land? If You Make One False Step, You Miss What Is Right Before Your Eyes.

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.

All That's Visible Springs From Causes Intimate To You. While Walking, Sitting, Lying Down, The Body Itself Is Complete Truth. If Someone Asks The Inner Meaning Of This: Inside The Treasury Of Dharma Eye A Single Grain Of Dust.

Students Today Should Live Fully Every Moment Of Time. This Dew-like Life Fades Away; Time Speeds Swiftly. In This Short Life Of Ours, Avoid Involvement In Superfluous Things And Just Study The Way.
