Zen charges straight through the tall grass, cuts across all existing paths,
Doesn’t stop at the conversations of groups of men overheard along the way.
Zen doesn’t interest the creatures of the jungle; the pretty hearts of day and the prowlers of night don’t see it; Zen is invisible to their eyes.
If they talk to you about Zen, it’s not Zen they’re talking about. Zen takes you to the heart of being.
If nothing stops it along the way, it’s because this is where it leads you.
Each time, in a lifetime, in a thousand Lives, in a second,
If you sit down honestly, you will reach your destination.
When you sit down honestly, you reach your destination.
