Quotes from Sawaki Kodo Roshi, "To You":
We all develop peculiar habits. The powerful, and the
teachers and intellectuals who serve them, do their best to
train us in these peculiarities. In this way we are tied and
twisted in the most complicated ways. Religion means
untying these knots.
In the end, there is only emptiness.
Everyone is trying to make themselves out to be important
according to their worldly criteria.
What one system built, the other will destroy. What one
political power accomplished will be repealed by the next.
A person who seeks his true calling won’t want to pursue
a career. A person who wants to become president doesn’t
know where he’s going in life.
Their election is so important to them that presidents and
congressmen campaign to rally votes. Idiots! Even if they
asked me to become president, I’d turn it down. How dumb
do you think I am anyway?
