What is zazen?
Just sitting.
What is practice?
Just doing.
What for?
For nothing.
Just do it.
Practice the dharma for the sake of the dharma.
There is no goal to reach, nothing to long for and nothing to attain.
Just follow life in this one single instant, right here, right now – the life that you are presently living.
Be one with reality, that is all.
– From an unsigned teaching given at Antai-ji, possibly by Muhō Noelke.)
