“The practice of zazen is like a thief who breaks into an empty house: There is nothing to steal, nowhere to hide, and no-one to escape from.”

-Old Zen Saying

“When you practice zazen, completely renew yourself. It has to be here and now, it has to be about yourself. Don’t let Zen become a rumor that has nothing to do with you.”

-Sawaki Roshi

“Zazen means just sitting without even thinking of becoming buddha. When you sit zazen, you attain the way without thinking at all about attaining the way.”

- Sawaki Roshi
