"You study, you do sports, and you’re fixated on satori ( enlightenment) and illusion. So that even zazen (sitting meditation) becomes a marathon for you, with satori as the finish line. Yet because you’re trying to grab it, you’re missing it completely. Only when you stop meddling like this does your original, cosmic nature realize itself"

Kodo Sawaki (沢木 興道) "homeless kodo" D.1965
