“What is called zazen is sitting on a zafu [pillow] in a quiet room, absolutely still, in the exact and proper position and without uttering a word, the mind empty of any thought, good or wicked. It is continuing to sit peacefully, facing a wall, and nothing more. Every day.” MindStillsRoomsPositionWallQuietSittingEmptyWickedContinuingPillowQuiet Room Author:Taisen Deshimaru

“Nobody today is normal, everybody is a little bit crazy or unbalanced, people's minds are running all the time. Their perceptions of the world are partial, incomplete. They are eaten alive by their egos. They think they see, but they are mistaken; all they do is project their madness, their world, upon the world. There is no clarity, no wisdom in that!” PeopleThinkingWorldMindLittlesRunningTodayBitsAliveCrazyEgoNormalProjectsPerceptionLittle BitMadnessWho You AreClarityMistakenIncompleteKnowing Who You AreUnbalancedPerception Of The World Author:Taisen Deshimaru
