Kusen 1
By breathing, unbend the arch of the spine
Tensed to such an extent that inspiration no longer enters.
Release the grip from the muscles on the diaphragm cord.
The pointing arrow attracts attackers.
The idle arrow drives them away.
In zazen, lay down your weapons, put away your bow and arrows.

Kusen 2
if in zazen I feel
so powerful and so insignificant,
it is because the power is not mine and insignificance heals

Kusen 3
Zazen teaches the power of lightning, and the implosion of time,
Wisdom is condensed into fractions of seconds.
And deposits the learning of thousands of existences.
