Famous Kodo Sawaki Quotes

“Cuando era un joven monje ponía todo mi empeño en alcanzar el satori. Fueoka Ryoun roshi me dio una lección para toda la vida: “No hay razón para ponerse nervioso, Kodo. Te comportas como alguien a quien le cuelga de la nariz un resto de mierda y se pregunta: '¿quién se ha tirado un pedo?' Mientras busques de esta manera nunca encontrarás nada”.”

“To be born as a human being is a rare thing, something to be grateful for. But being born as a human being is worthless if you spend your whole life in a mental hospital. It is worthless if you worry about not having money. It is worthless if you become neurotic because you cannot get a prestigious job. It is worthless if you weep because you lose your girlfriend.”
